Black Flowers

I live beside
 this dark coal mine
 the whistle blows
 everyday on time
 when the rain pours down
 and the wind blows hard
 black flowers
 grow in my yard
 When I lost my man
 down that old coal shaft
 I swear I heard
 the devil laugh
 and the angels left
 and they took my heart
 now black flowers
 grow in my yard
 and the undertaker
 is a busy man
 he's got a clean blue shirt
 he's got soft pink hands
 got a paved driveway
 and a brand new car
 black flowers
 grow in my yard
 When the baby cries
 I sing hush little one
 but I swear that I'm
 gonna come undone
 'cause when the rain
 pours down
 and the wind
 blows hard
 black flowers grow in my yard
 black flowers grow in my yard
 black flowers grow in my yard
