Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
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
