KENTUCKY COAL
As recorded by Benjamin Tod & Matt Heckler
(2025 release)
[Intro]
D A D
[Verse 1]
D G D
When I was a child my daddy would say
A D A
Don't work in the mine, there's a far better trade
D G D
But I've come to find there's nothin' I crave
A D
More than the sight of an untouched vein
[Chorus]
D G D A D
Kentucky coal, Kentucky coal
A
That's why I'm here, that's all I know
D G D
Ain't nothin on earth finer, I'm told
A D
Kentucky coal, Kentucky coal
[Instrumental Break]
D G D A
D G D A
D
[Verse 2]
D G D
Doin' my time for a dollar a day
A
Deep in the mine with the poor and the brave
D G D
No peace will I find til I lie in the grave
A D
With a crack in my spine, not a dime to my name
[Chorus]
D G D A D
Kentucky coal, Kentucky coal
A
That's why I'm here, that's all I know
D G D
Ain't nothin on earth finer, I'm told
A D
Kentucky coal, Kentucky coal
