Coal River
FMany’s thAme times I’D#ve walked its banks
With C7tearful pride and Fhumble thanks
It’s baptized mAmy soul anD#d made me whole
C7Freed my hands from Fdirty coal
Many small houses sit on its backs
Catalogues odf dreams and praire sof thanks
Washed my body and cleaneed my mind
It’s been cruel and it’s been kind
GmCoal C7River, FCoal River
GmCoal C7River I’ve comFe home
I see my daddy all tired and worn
A gentleman, yet full of scorn
We sit on the front porch and watch it (?)
Dream of knowledge and talk of pain
But that old city got to big for me
Just like the river our love runs free
So here I am and here I’ll stay
I’ll just live my life from day to day on
Coal River, Coal River
