Well, I'm a man of the mountain
I'm just made of dirt
Of this earth, I traveled
Like a shepherd and his herdAnd I said hang on, hang on
Black lung heartacheI sleep in a modest house
These green hills I mined
And if I plow, who'll tend my children
Who will be by their side?And I said hang on, hang on
Black lung heartacheI've shed many tears
Seems I can't shed no more
You can see them on the table
You can see them on the floorAnd I said hang on, hang on
Black lung heartacheI've seen many men
They become hard as nails
Carrying their hammers
Like keys to a jailNow I said hang on, hang on
Black lung heartache
Now I said so long, so long
Black lung heartache
