[Verse]
D
I bought a house
       C
At the mouth of the holler

A ring at the pawn shop
      F            D
And a crib for the kid
D
I heard some word
          C
There was work up in Hindman
    G
I'm going tomorrow
    F               D
And hope that there is
 
[Verse]
D
My sweat and my wages
     C
They don't seem to weigh out

Than I'm gainin' in gold
D
Whoever said
          C
You could raise you a family

Knee deep in coal

Well the sign at the church
          C
Says I'll reap what I'm sowin'

It'll come in due time

If the Lord wants to take me

I'm here for the taking

Cause hell's probably better

They're probably right
