[00:05.727]I come from the mountains, Kentucky's my home,
[00:10.429]where the wild deer, the black bear so lately did roam.
[00:15.985]By the cool rushing waterfalls the wild flowers dream
[00:20.259]and in every green valley there runs a clear stream.
[00:25.815]Now there's scenes of destruction
[00:30.944]on every hand and only black waters, run down through my land.
[00:35.646]Sad scenes of destruction on every hand,
[00:40.775]black waters, black waters run down through my land.
[00:45.476]Well the quail, she is a pretty bird, she sings a sweet tongue.
[00:50.178]in the roots of the tall timber she nests with her young.
[00:55.306]But the hillside explodes with a dynamite's roar and the
[01:00.863]voices of the small birds will sound there no more.
[01:05.564]And the mountain comes a sliding, so awful and grand and the flooding
[01:10.266]black waters rise over my land.
[01:15.395]In the coming of the spring time we planted our corn,
[01:20.523]in the end of the spring time we buried our son.
[01:25.652]In the summer comes a nice man who says everything's fine,
[01:30.781]my employer just requires a way to his mine.
[01:35.055]And they tore down the mountain and covered my corn
[01:40.184]and the grave on the hillside a mile deeper down.
[01:45.313]In the man stands a talking with his hat in his hands
[01:50.442]and the poisonous black waters rise over my land.
[01:55.998]Well I ain't got no money, not much of a home,
[02:00.700]I own my own land but my land's not my own.
[02:05.829]But if I had 10 billion or somewhere thereabouts
[02:10.103]I'd buy Perry County and run 'em all out.
[02:15.659]Sit on the banks with my bait and my can and
[02:20.788]just watch the clear waters run down through my land.
[02:25.489]Now wouldn't that be like the old promised land?
[02:30.618]Black waters, black waters no more in my land.
