Not so long ago just outside Paris Arkansas
a young lady had a mountain to climb
Gonna climb up this mountain cause theres one thing I know
My daddy is in his mountain diggin' Arkansas coal
Yes I hear my mama calling, I let her wait ten minutes more shell be so
Cause I like to lay on the ground and listen to the sound of my daddy
Digging Arkansas coal
I was born in this mountain went down here since I was nine years old
And I know some day Ill die in this mountain diggin', diggin'
Arkansas, Arkansas coal, Arkansas coal
Married me a good man back in 59,
Knew he was an Arkansas coalminer and that suited me fine
Got us a little daughter, she's only eight years old
Wishing she was a man like her daddy diggin' Arkansas coal
Billie get off that mountain, Billie you got to go to school
Billie your mama and daddy aint gonna raise you no natural fool
Aint gonna raise you no natural fool
Mama why is the earth shaking? Mama is the world coming to an end?
Mama why are you crying? Is it another cave in?
My God the rocks are fallin', ten thousand tons on my head
I knew someday this would happen so this is how it feels to be dead
So this is how it feels to be dead
Gonna climb up that mountain cause there is one thing I know
My daddy is in that mountain diggin' Arkansas coal
