Bottom of a Mountain

I was born in West Virginia
 Where the land is black with coal
 For a man to feed his family
 It takes twelve hours a day a diggin' in a dirty black hole
 Way down in the bottom of a mountain
 Way down in the bottom of a hole
 Way down in the bottom of a mountain
 I'm diggin' and a shovelin' and a loadin' out the dirty black coal
 Some men give their wives jewelry
 Some men give their wives gold
 But all I can give to my sweet woman
 Are the few dollars I make from diggin' out the dirty black coal
 Way down in the bottom of a mountain
 Way down in the bottom of a hole
 Way down in the bottom of a mountain
 I'm diggin' and a shovelin' and a loadin' out the dirty black coal
 I draw script for most of my money
 I never see a lot of that
 I work all week and go to church on Sunday
 Well the preacher gonna get what's left when they pass the hat
 Way down in the bottom of a mountain
 Way down in the bottom of a hole
 Way down in the bottom of a mountain
 I'm diggin' and a shovelin' and a loadin' out the dirty black coal
 I'm diggin' and a shovelin' and a loadin' out the dirty black coal
