Born in West Virginia
A E
Down where the old Tug River flows
Raised in McDowell County
A E
Back in the day when the king was coal
[Pre-Chorus 1]

That day is gone now and lost forever
A E
It ain't never comin' back
A E
Oh, how I long for the days of my childhood
[Chorus]
D A E D A
Back in the day when the river ran black with coal
D A E
Sky looked blue but the river ran black
[Verse 2]
E
Way down in the Premier Coal Mine
A E
My daddy crawled on his hands and knees
Tryin' to make a dollar
A E
He did it all for my mom and me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A E
But it put my dad in an early grave, boy
A E
My daddy's gone, he can't come back
A E
Oh, how I long for the days of my childhood
[Chorus]

Back in the day when the river ran black with coal

Sky looked blue but the river ran black

Times were hard, but the good Lord saw us through

Every situation we got in

We never did go hungry Lord, we never did without

If I could I'd do it all again

Years have come and gone now
A E
I'm still here, where it all began
Tryin' to make a dollar
A E
Just like my dad did, way back then
[Pre-Chorus 3]
A E
Cause there's just somethin' about these mountains
A E
That keeps a good man comin' back
A E
Searchin' for the the days of his childhood
[Chorus]
D A E D A
Back in the day when the river ran black with coal
D A E
Sky looked blue but the river ran black
