well i'm a man of the mountain
i'm just made of dirt
of this earth i traveled
like a shepherd and his herd
and i said hang on
hang on
black lung heartache
i sleep in a modest house
these green hills i mind
and if i plow tend my children
who will be by the side?
and i said hang on
hang on
black lung heartache
i've shed many tears
seems i can?t shed no more
you can see them on the table
you can see 'em on the floor
now i said hang on
hang on
black lung heartache
i've seen many men
they become hard as nails
carrying the hammers like keys to a jail
now i said hang on
hang on
black lung heartache
now i said so long
so long
black lung heartache
