Bottom Of The Mountain

I was born in west virginiaWhere the land is black with coalFor a man to feed his family takes twelve hours a dayA diggin' in the big black holeWay down in the bottom of a mountain wayDown in the bottom of a holeWay down in the bottom of a mountain I'm diggin'And a shovelin' and a loadin' out the dirty black coalSome men give their wives jewelrySome men give their wives goldBut all I can give to my sweet womanAre the few dollars I make a diggin' out the dirty black coalWay down in the bottom of a mountain wayDown in the bottom of a holeWay down in the bottom of a mountain I'm diggin'And a shovelin' and a loadin' out the dirty black coalI draw script for most of my moneyI never see a lot of thatI work all week and go to church on sundayWell the preacher gonna get what's left when they pass the hatWay down in the bottom of a mountain wayDown in the bottom of a holeWay down in the bottom of a mountain I'm diggin'And a shovelin' and a loadin' out the dirty black coalI'm diggin' and a shovelin' and a loadin' out the dirty black coal
