lirik lagu the amanda cook band - west virginia coal
[verse 1]
daddy worked the coal mines until the day he died
and every day he would leave and trouble mama’s mind
numbers were rising, the shafts were falling in
we’d pray to god that we would see my daddy again
winter came with rumors of shutdown for repair
but the suit and ties that owned us wouldn’t stop [?]
they promised a return of all the work the best they could
on a foggy mountain morning, daddy went to work for good
[chorus]
blistered hands and black dust was all he knew
as his shovel scr~ped the coal he made the paycheck he was due
a dollar for the company, a penny for his time
as he worked his life away down in the mines
[verse 2]
covered in his coat of coal, skin black as night
not enough air to breath, a struggle for his life
it’s been seven lonely years since we heard that whistle blow
waiting for my pa to dig out of west virginia coal
people of the town all moved away to better things
but mama kept our family here to chase my daddy’s dreams
now we stand around his grave [?] just an empty hole
just like the mine that buried him ‘neath west virginia coal
[chorus]
blistered hands and black dust was all he knew
as his shovel scr~ped the coal he made the paycheck he was due
a dollar for the company, a penny for his time
as he worked his life away down in the mines
