Samuel rises in the dark
The stars still shining
Grabs a sledge and a chisel
Drops on down in the mine
Rises again at dusk

Eyes blind in the fading light
Smells like dust and kerosene
He'll live and die in the night

From the hills of West Virginia
To the fires of Carolina
Those northern winds will keep on blowing
But that Bristol coal just keeps on glowing
When your bones are cold
Coal is more precious than gold

John Henry had his hammer
Samuel has his shovel and his coal
He'll never stop digging
Deeper down in that hole

From the hills of West Virginia
To the fires of Carolina
Those northern winds keep on blowing
That Bristol coal keeps on glowing
When your bones are cold
Coal is more precious than gold

Those company men
Never stop watching
Never stop counting
The debt he owes
One fine spring dawn
Those he loves the best
They'll sing "The Old Rugged Cross"
And lay him down to rest

From the hills of West Virginia
To the fires of Carolina
Those northern winds keep on blowing
That Bristol coal keeps on glowing
When your bones are cold
Coal is more precious than gold

When your bones are cold
Coal is more precious than gold
