West Virginia Mine - Jackie DeShannon

Don’t you take me to West Virginia mine

Don’t you make me leave my love behind

Oh, low-down industry

You don’t protect my family

You know they’re lyin' in the West Virginia mine

Down so long in the West Virginia mine

Like to quit, Lord God knows we’re tryin'

Coal dust gets in your blood

Son, don’t you do what your Daddy done

You know he’s lyin' in the West Virginia mine

Livin' near the West Virginia mine

In cardboard houses, coal dust covered vines

But you just can’t get no other job

When all your good health has been robbed

People, keep on cryin' 'bout the West Virginia mine

Oh, oh-oh

You know your Daddy’s lyin' in the West Virginia mine

Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on

Keep on cryin' 'bout the West Virginia mine

People, people dyin' in the West Virginia mine

Children cryin' 'bout the West Virginia mine
