The Mountain Lyrics

	I was born on this mountain a long time ago
	Before they knocked down the timber and strip-mined the coal
	When you rose in the mornin' before it was light
	To go down in that dark hole and come back up at night
	I was born on this mountain, this mountain's my home
	She holds me and keeps me from worry and woe
	Well, they took everything that she gave, now they're gone
	But i'll die on this mountain, this mountain's my home
	I was young on this mountain but now i am old
	And i knew every holler, every cool swimmin' hole
	＆til one night i lay down and woke up to find
	That my childhood was over and i went down in the mine
	There's a hole in this mountain and it's dark and it's deep
	And god only knows all the secrets it keeps
	There's a chill in the air only miners can feel
	There're ghosts in the tunnels that the company sealed

	I was born on this mountain a long time ago
	Before they knocked down the timber and stripmined the coal
	When you rose in the mornin' before it was light
	To go down in that dark hole and come back up at night
	I was born on this mountain, this mountain' s my home
	She holds me and keeps me from worry and woe
	Well, they took everything that she gave, now they' re gone
	But i' ll die on this mountain, this mountain' s my home
	I was young on this mountain but now i am old
	And i knew every holler, every cool swimmin' hole
	til one night i lay down and woke up to find
	That my childhood was over and i went down in the mine
	There' s a hole in this mountain and it' s dark and it' s deep
	And god only knows all the secrets it keeps
	There' s a chill in the air only miners can feel
	There' re ghosts in the tunnels that the company sealed

	I was born on this mountain a long time ago
	Before they knocked down the timber and stripmined the coal
	When you rose in the mornin' before it was light
	To go down in that dark hole and come back up at night
	I was born on this mountain, this mountain' s my home
	She holds me and keeps me from worry and woe
	Well, they took everything that she gave, now they' re gone
	But i' ll die on this mountain, this mountain' s my home
	I was young on this mountain but now i am old
	And i knew every holler, every cool swimmin' hole
	til one night i lay down and woke up to find
	That my childhood was over and i went down in the mine
	There' s a hole in this mountain and it' s dark and it' s deep
	And god only knows all the secrets it keeps
	There' s a chill in the air only miners can feel
	There' re ghosts in the tunnels that the company sealed
