Song for a Coal Miner
Born in a little town in West Virginia,
owned by a factory.
His father worked in the coal mine
and when he grew us so did he.
Scooping rock about a half mile down,
workin' days down in the night.
Never walking in the sunshine,
watching other people die.
Everyday the lonely man would walk by,
and little children would just look away,
never noticing his silent cry, searching for a better way.
He spent his days down in the coal mine.

Spent his night in the saloon.
Working ragged as the years flew by,
til they found him in his room.
They say his lungs were black and dirty,
with the dust worked in with the years.
That was never noticed by the company,
and no one shed a single tear.
Scooping rock about a half mile down,
workin' days down in the night.
Never walking in the sunshine,
watching other people die.
