My [C]family's lived and died on this [G]mountain
Down in the ground where the [D]sun don't ever [Em]come[C]
Down [G]in the ground where the [D]sun don't ever [G]come
One more year I'll be [C]ready for the [G]coal mine

I cry to see my [D]brother under[Em]ground[C]
Yes, I [G]cry to see my [D]brother under[G]ground
