Вступление
[Verse 1]
Bm Em A
The boys are cutting a shine on the road out side
G A Bm
Like thunder the engine is sounding
Bm A
But boys this story ain’t about you this time
A Bm
It’s about my 75 years on this mountain
[Verse 2]
Bm Em A
The wheels of my mind turn backwards
G A Bm
I can see clear as spring water
Bm Em A
My heart thrills but aches as I tell the words
A Bm
Of a Cravenstown coal miner’s daughter
[Instramental 1]

[Verse 3]
Bm Em A
I was born the 5th of 9 children
G A Bm
My daddy was a miner at Davidson
Bm A
But a blown out shot set his shaft to burnin
G A Bm
And the company don’t pay damages or pensions
[Verse 4]
Bm Em A
So Daddy said hes a goin’ down to the river’s shore
G A Bm
Gonna drown himself in the deepest water
Bm Em A
Leavin ne’re a coin or scrip for the company store
G A Bm
Found a new gal and left for Indiana
[Chorus]
A E
I’ve wanted for daddy and I’ve wanted for learning
G A
I’ve wanted for some of god’s goodwill
A E
And if there’s anyone to know there’s more to life than a dollar bill
G
Lord you know it’s me
F#m Bm
Am I deserving this cold hearted dream
[Instramental 2]

[Verse 5]
Bm Em A
Twas a long barefooted walk to the schoolhouse see
G A Bm
And nothin to make a lunch pail with neither
Bm A
Just the apples that dropped from the schoolyard tree
G A Bm
When mama died nothing was waiting for our dinner
[Verse 6]
Bm Em A
Cotton came a calling when I’s about 17
G A Bm
Soon after the babies came a crying
Bm Em A
He did a little mining, a little shining between
G A Bm
A little drinking and gambling besides
[Chorus 2]
A E
I’ve wanted for daddy and I’ve wanted for learning
G A
I’ve wanted for some of god’s goodwill
A E
And if there’s anyone to know there’s more to life than a dollar bill
G
Lord you know it’s me
F#m Bm
Am I deserving this cold hearted dream

[Verse 7]
Bm A
The mining’s all done but we’re still on this mountain
G A Bm
guess our roots were stronger than our wings
Bm A
and flying ain’t as easy if it’s pennies that your counting
G A Bm
while the company men are off living like kings
[Verse 8]
Bm Em A
The blessing of a baby is the burden of a mother
G A Bm
And a wife pays the wages of a wedding band
Bm Em A
A mine’s just a hole in the ground like any other
G A Bm
And a company ain’t ever worth a damn
[Chorus 3]
A E
I’ve wanted for daddy and I’ve wanted for learning
G A
I’ve wanted for some of god’s goodwill
A E
And if there’s anyone to know there’s more to life than a dollar bill
G
Lord you know it’s me
F#m Bm
Am I deserving this cold hearted dream
