1
I was born on this mountain a long time ago
2
Before they knocked down the timber and strip-mined the coal
3
When you rose in the mornin' before it was light
4
To go down in that dark hole and come back up at night
5
I was born on this mountain, this mountain's my home
6
She holds me and keeps me from worry and woe
7
Well, they took everything that she gave, now they're gone
8
But I'll die on this mountain, this mountain's my home
9
I was young on this mountain but now I am old
10
And I knew every holler, every cool swimmin' hole
11
Til one night I lay down and woke up to find
12
That my childhood was over and I went down in the mine
13
There's a hole in this mountain and it's dark and it's deep
14
And God only knows all the secrets it keeps
15
There's a chill in the air only miners can feel
16
There're ghosts in the tunnels that the company sealed
