Coal Miner’s Curse Lyrics by Volume Five

Children of the Mountain

2011

[Verse 1]
For forty years, my daddy worked this little piece of land
And it brought forth and kept our family fed
We'd sit out on the front porch and watch his garden grow
He said, "Son, someday this land will be your own."
[Chorus]
Now they haul all the coal up and down this ocher row
It gets deeper every time it rolls on by
I can still hear my daddy, for these were his final words:
"Son, don't give in to the coal miner's curse."
[Verse 2]
With momma breakin' beans and daddy plowin' corn
Memories of those mountains full of hope
Times got tough and I got scared and gave in to my fears
And I sold my home of thirty-sevеn years
[Chorus]
Now they haul all the coal up and down this ochеr row
It gets deeper every time it rolls on by
I can still hear my daddy, for these were his final words:
"Son, don't give in to the coal miner's curse."
[Chorus]
Now they haul all the coal up and down this ocher row
It gets deeper every time it rolls on by
I can still hear my daddy, for these were his final words:
"Son, don't give in to the coal miner's curse."
"Son, don't give in to the coal miner's curse."
