     G                D        C                 G
Well it was good one time everything was mighty fine

                   D             G
The coal tipples roared day and night

     G               D           C             G
But things they got slow for no reason that I know

     G              D         G
And ill winds they hove into sight
[Verse 2]
          G                D        C          G
Well the mines all closed down everybody laid around

                   D           G
There wasn't very much left to do

                      D                C               G
Except stand in that line to get your ration script on time

                   D                G
And woman I could see that killin' you
[Chorus]

Now the soft new snows of December

Lightly fall my cabin 'round

                      D          G
Leavin' crossed your mind every day

                   D              C                 G
Things you said to me things are bad back home you see

Well I should blame you now but I never could somehow

                    D                G
A miner's wife you weren't cutout to be

                    D                 C                 G
It wasn't what you thought just some dreams that you'd bought

                        D            G
When you left home and ran away with me
