Lyrics

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, who'll 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 them on the floor
And I said hang on, hang on
Black lung heartache
I've seen many men
They become hard as nails
Carrying their 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
