Kentucky Gold

Waking up early going back down
 Black coffee black lung underground
 This much money ain't even worth countin'
 Hand to mouth this side of the mountain
 The creek used to run clear across the tracks
 Till Peabody came and it all turned black
 The diamonds we digging
 Don't sparkle or shine
 Wastin' away in a rich mans mine
 West Virginia Kentucky gold
 Feed your family sell your soul
 Dying young never growing old
 For that West Virginia Kentucky gold
 Wake up every morning
 Kiss my kids goodbye
 And whisper to my beautiful wife
 If today's the day
 That I should go
 Don't leave me down in that damn hole
 West Virginia Kentucky gold
 Feed your family sell your soul
 Dying young never growing old
 For that West Virginia Kentucky gold
 Don't leave me down in that damn hole
 Don't leave me down in that damn hole
 Don't leave me down in that damn hole
 Don't leave me down in that damn hole
 Don't leave me down in that damn hole
 Don't leave me down in that damn hole
 Don't leave me down in that damn hole
 When it all caves in when the walls won't hold
 West Virginia Kentucky gold
 Feed your family sell your soul
 Dying young never growing old
 For that West Virginia Kentucky gold
 For that West Virginia Kentucky gold
 For that West Virginia Kentucky gold
 Kentucky gold
