I Come Down From The Mountain
Lyricist:Jeff Williams
I come down from the Mountain
I come down from the mountain head to toe in coal I wash my hands in the river and I take my body home Rounding round that corner the kids are hoe'in corn Mama hollers out ‽hey children now your daddy's homeâ€.
CHORUS Daddy will you take us to the mountain? He said, ‽the coal mines is a place that you should fear. I take my body to the mountain but my heart and soul stay here
The sun is goin down but the work is hardly done Girls go down the hill to the well to make a water run. Boys are cutting wood till a cord or so is done We sit down to dinner of bacon back and pon. Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
CHORUS
Mamas sewing dresses out of flour sacks kid are doing lessons with coal on paper bags Daddys' playin guitar singin gospel songs Mama backs with tenor and us kids we sing along
CHORUS
Winter walked to school in bare feet .We wrapped our feet in rags Left our blood in the snow and ice. And when we got there we was glad Rich kids by the school house eye'in our apple bags. We'd trade two bags that we carried from the holler for the one orange that they had.
CHORUS
