I was born in West Virginia
Where the land is black with coal
A
For a man to feed his family
E B7 E
It takes twelve hours a day a diggin' in a dirty black hole
A
Way down in the bottom of a mountain
E
Way down in the bottom of a hole
A
Way down in the bottom of a mountain
E B7 E
I'm diggin' and a shovelin' and a loadin' out the dirty black coal
E
Some men give their wives jewelry
Some men give their wives gold
A
But all I can give to my sweet woman
E B7 E
Are the few dollars I make from diggin' out the dirty black coal
A
Way down in the bottom of a mountain
E
Way down in the bottom of a hole
A
Way down in the bottom of a mountain
E B7 E
I'm diggin' and a shovelin' and a loadin' out the dirty black coal
E
I draw scr i pt for most of my money
I never see a lot of that
A
I work all week and go to church on Sunday
E B7 E
Well the preacher gonna get what's left when they pass the hat
A
Way down in the bottom of a mountain
E
Way down in the bottom of a hole
A
Way down in the bottom of a mountain
E B7 E
I'm diggin' and a shovelin' and a loadin' out the dirty black coal
