Arkansas Coal (Suite)
[G]Not so long ago just outside Paris Arkansas
a young lady had a mountain to climb
[G]Gonna climb up this mountain cause thereâ??s one thing I know
My daddy is in his mountain diggin' Arkansas c[D]oal
Yes I [G]hear my mama calling, I let her wait ten minutes more sheâ??ll be so
Cause I like to lay on the ground and listen to the sound of my daddy
Digging Arkansas [D]coal
[G]I was born [C7]in this mountain [G]went down here since I was[D] nine years old
And I [G]know some day Iâ??ll die in thi[C7]s mountai[G]n diggin'[D], diggin'
