Verse
Em G
Basically we are all alone in the centre of a pickaxe mine.
Em
Black lung stings as the pickaxe swings.
Em G
As the void of the mine closes in,
Em
The Devil came and the angels sang.
Em G
A Song of the Holy Ghost.
Em
Tempted the soul from the pennies to the gold,
Em G
Like the dust I spit from my mouth.
Chorus
Em G
Wooa Wooa oooo oo oo oooooooo oo oo oooooooo oo
Em G
Wooa Wooa oooo oo oo oooooooo oo oo oooooooo oo
Verse
Em
Remember the night with the barroom fight
Em G
Where I killed all my best friends.
Em
We gambled it away with the whiskey open keg,
Em G
And we never saw it again.
Em
Well I had a wife that I met back in high school;
Em G
Her name was Lyla-Jean.
Em
We saved away to escape some place
Em G
On a local miner's minor pay.
Chorus
Em G
Wooa Wooa oooo oo oo oooooooo oo oo oooooooo oo
Em G
Wooa Wooa oooo oo oo oooooooo oo oo oooooooo oo
Banjo Break
Verse
Em
We saved so long, the fall came and gone
Em G
At Least 27 times.
Em
It fell through the floorboards into deep dark darkness,
Em G
And we never saw it again.
Em
So West Virginia's home and that's where we're staying
Em G
To the blade of the bible hymn.
Em
Jesus says we're wicked so we just keep on pickin'
Em G
At the scab of the open mine
Chorus
Em G
Wooa Wooa oooo oo oo oooooooo oo oo oooooooo oo
Em G
Wooa Wooa oooo oo oo oooooooo oo oo oooooooo oo
Em G
Wooa Wooa oooo oo oo oooooooo oo oo oooooooo oo
