Down In the Coalmine

Down in the boondocks
 Cown in the boondocks
 People put me down 'cause that's
 The side of town I was born in
 I love her, she loves me
 But I don't fit in her society
 Lord, have mercy on the boy
 From down in the boondocks
 Every night I watch the light
 From the house up on the hill
 I love a little girl that lives up there
 And I guess I always will
 But I don't dare knock on her door
 'Cause her daddy is my boss man
 So I'll just have to be content
 To see her whenever I can
 Down in the boondocks
 Cown in the boondocks
 People put me down 'cause that's
 The side of town I was born in
 I love her, she loves me
 But I don't fit in her society
 Lord, have mercy on the boy
 From down in the boondocks
 Down in the boondocks
 Cown in the boondocks
 One fine day I'll find a way
 To move from this old shack
 I'll hold my head up like a king
 And I never, never will look back
 Until that morning I'll work
 And slave and I'll save every dime
 But tonight she'll have to steal away
 To see me one more time
 Down in the boondocks
 Cown in the boondocks
 People put me down 'cause that's
 The side of town I was born in
 I love her, she loves me
 But I don't fit in her society
 Lord, have mercy on the boy
 From down in the boondocks
 Lord, have mercy on the boy
 From down in the boondocks
 Lord, have mercy on the boy
 From down in the boondocks
