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

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