[Verse 1]
D#
Born in West Virginia
G# D#
Down where the old Tug River flows
Raised in McDowell County
G# D#
Back in the day when the king was coal
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G# D#
That day is gone now and lost forever
G# D#
It ain't never comin' back
G# D#
Oh, how I long for the days of my childhood
[Chorus]
C# G# D# C# G#
Back in the day when the river ran black with coal
C# G# D#
Sky looked blue but the river ran black
[Verse 2]
D#
Way down in the Premier Coal Mine
G# D#
My daddy crawled on his hands and knees
Tryin' to make a dollar
G# D#
He did it all for my mom and me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G# D#
But it put my dad in an early grave, boy
G# D#
My daddy's gone, he can't come back
G# D#
Oh, how I long for the days of my childhood
[Chorus]
C# G# D# C# G#
Back in the day when the river ran black with coal
C# G# D#
Sky looked blue but the river ran black
[Bridge]
G# D#
Times were hard, but the good Lord saw us through
G# D#
Every situation we got in
G# D#
We never did go hungry Lord, we never did without
G# D# D#7 D#
If I could I'd do it all again

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