Born in West Virginia

Down where the old Tug River flows
Raised in McDowell County

Back in the day when the king was coal
[Pre-Chorus 1]

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]

Back in the day when the river ran black with coal
C G D
Sky looked blue but the river ran black
[Verse 2]

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]

Times were hard, but the good Lord saw us through

Every situation we got in

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]

Sky looked blue but the river ran black
