Benjamin Tod & Matt Heckler - Kentucky Coal Lyrics

Benjamin Tod & Matt Heckler Lyrics

"Kentucky Coal"

When I was a child my daddy would say
Don't work in the mine, there's a far better trade
But I've come to find there's nothin' I crave
More than the sight of an untouched vein

Kentucky coal, Kentucky coal
That's why I'm here, that's all I know
Ain't nothin on earth finer, I'm told
Kentucky coal, Kentucky coal

Doin' my time for a dollar a day
Deep in the mine with the poor and the brave
No peace will I find til I lie in the grave
With a crack in my spine, not a dime to my name

Kentucky coal, Kentucky coal
That's why I'm here, that's all I know
Ain't nothin on earth finer, I'm told
Kentucky coal, Kentucky coal
Kentucky coal, Kentucky coal
