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

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