Lyrics

The Coal Miners job
Is no longer down under
There's no evil intentions
with family's to feed

And the songs of the children
Are heard in the valleys
Singing about families
And the places they live

Down in the Valley
It's all peaceful and quiet
Theres no sign of the tragic
Sadness above

But up on the mountain
Theres nothing but flatness
Where once there were trees
Now theres nothing but mud

The Whippoorwill sings
As the sun's shinning softly
The winds telling stories
of places called home

Then the trees start to whisper
Of thunder and sadness
As they steadily take down
Our mountain top home

The city lights shinning
Way off in the darkness
As the coal trains keep feeding
Our unstoppable needs

And the answers lay hidden
In the dust and the rubble
The deep coal black lakes
Are the price of our greed
