letra de black lung blues - grasstowne

[verse 1]
my daddy was a minor dang near all his life
from the day that he turned sixteen to the day before he died
born in mingo county, in the spring of ’22
coal mines and moonshine, the only life he knew

[verse 2]
he’d break out his fiddle and play the same ol’ tune
so get your guitars, and play the black lung blues
he used to tell me stories of how he first began
back before the union, digging coal by hand
[verse 3]
once he recalled, in the fall of ’45
sixteen men went in that day, and three came out alive
if you lived in west virginia, you know the story well
[?] living, down in the depths of h-ll

[verse 4]
son, this ol’ coal dust is gonna be my death
i’m going merry, fighting for my breath
relayed him in the mountain, but his memory lingers on
every time i hear a fiddle play that lonesome song
