TheCoal Miner'sSon

from AmericanaCalling by MacMcCarty &KiddTwist

about

Upper Big Branch Mine disaster in Raleigh County, West Virginia. He's waiting for his father in the Home where the sun always shines. He probably got there one afternoon as a young boy. Maybe after a fever that never broke. It's a hard life up in those hills.

lyrics

Oooohhhhh

Elvis he got home
Elvis he got home
He got here one afternoon
Oh yeah he got here real soon

Oooohhhhh

Jesus he got home
Jesus he got home
He got here one afternoon
Oh yeah he got here real soon

Oh the coal miner's son
Waitin' for his papa in the sun
Oh the coal miner's son

Oooohhhhh

Moses he got home
Moses he got home
He got here one afternoon
Oh yeah he got here real soon

Oh the coal miner's son
Waitin' for his papa in the sun
Oh the coal miner's son

Yeah that was some fire blew through
Burned all wild for a day or two
You never can say what a fire's gonna do
Leaves behind a broken heart or two

Papa he'll get home
My papa he'll get home
He'll get here this afternoon
Oh yeah he'll get here real soon

Oh the coal miner's son
Waitin' for his papa in the sun
Oh the coal miner's son

Oooohhhhh
