Lee Hazlewood - Arkansas Coal lyrics

Artist: Lee Hazlewood

album: Nancy & Lee Again (2009 Remaster)


Gonna climb up this mountain
'Cause there's one thing I know
My daddy's in this mountain
Digging Arkansas coal
Yes I hear my momma calling
I'll let her wait ten minutes more
She'll be sold
'Cause I like to lay on the ground
'N listen to the sound of my daddy
Digging Arkansas coal
I was born in this mountain
Been down here since I was
Nine years old
And I know someday I'll
Die in this mountain
Digging, digging
Arkansas, Arkansas coal
Arkansas coal
Married me a good man
Back in '59
Knew he was an Arkansas coal miner
And that suited me fine
Got us a little daughter
She's only eight years old
Wishes she was a man like her daddy
Digging Arkansas coal
Billy, get off of that mountain
Billy, you got to go to school
Billy, your momma and daddy
Ain't gonna raise you no natural fool
Ain't gonna raise you no natural fool
Momma, why is the earth shaking
Momma, is the world coming to an end
Momma, why are you crying
Is it another cave in
My God, the rocks are falling
Ten thousand tons on my head
I knew someday this would happen
So this is how it feels to be dead
So this is how it feels to be dead
Digging Arkansas coal
