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

It ain't never comin' back

Oh, how I long for the days of my childhood
[Chorus]

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

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]

Times were hard, but the good Lord saw us through

Every situation we got in

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]

Back in the day when the river ran black with coal

Sky looked blue but the river ran black
