1
He came into town in the early springtime
2
To work with my daddy down in the mines
3
It was hot in the summer when he said goodbye
4
And he left me a secret I can no longer hide
5
Now the only thing here that is welcoming me
6
Is a cold rainy morning, and a Greyhound bus seat
7
He just had to come back and try to explain
8
Cry for your daughter, Appalachian rain
9
Mountains of sorrow, mountains of pain
10
You'll never give for my baby a name
11
My family's honor took it away
12
Cry for your daughter, Appalachian rain
13
I was washed in the blood of the river you filled
14
Now the sound of a shotgun rings through the hills
15
And the blood of her father runs through its veins
16
Cry for your daughter, Appalachian rain
17
Mountains of sorrow, mountains of pain
18
You'll never give for my baby a name
19
My family's honor took it away
20
Cry for your daughter, Appalachian rain
21
Tears in the hollow, tears of my shame
22
Cry for your daughter, Appalachian rain
