Kate Wolf – Springfield Mountain Coal Miner (Guitar)

                 C                    G
My brother was a Springfield Mountain coal miner

                            C             D
He had three young children and a darling wife

    C                                    G
But last night there was a rumble on the mountain

                        D                 Em    C
Shaft number three came down and took his life

      G                 D                 G
Shaft number three came down and took his life

              C                 G
Thirty miners died down in that cave-in

                     C                  D
Thirteen times we've brought the wagons down

        C                                     G
There's twenty graves we'll be digging in the churchyard

                D              Em     C
Ten more in the mountains underground

G               D              G       G7
Ten more in the mountains underground

    C         G        D                      G
Lay down dear brother, Daddy's gonna take you home

C               G           D
Mamma's right behind you to take you home

                    Em     C  G  D  G
Where the cold wind blows

                    C            G
And my sister was a coal miner's daughter

               C            D
My daddy was a coal miner's son

   C                               G
My family's lived and died on this mountain

                             D              Em    C
Down in the ground where the sun don't ever come

     G                       D              G
Down in the ground where the sun don't ever come

                      C             G
One more year I'll be ready for the coal mine

                  C             D
One more year and I'll be going down

    C                               G
But every night when I pass by that mountain

                D            Em     C
I cry to see my brother underground

       G             D            G      
Yes, I cry to see my brother underground

    C         G        D                      G
Lay down dear brother, Daddy's gonna take you home

C               G           D
Mamma's right behind you to take you home

                    Em    C
Where the cold wind blows

    G                  D                      G
Lay down dear brother, Daddy's gonna take you home

C               G           D
Mamma's right behind you to take you home

                    Em     C  
Where the cold wind blows

            G              D 
She's gonna take you home

                    G
Where the cold wind blows
