[Verse 1]
G Em
I was born on this mountain a long time ago
G Am C Em
Before they knocked down the timber and strip-mined the coal
G Em
When you woke up in the mornin' before it was light
G Am C Em
And you go down in that dark hole and come back up at night
[Chorus]
G Em
I was born on this mountain, this mountain's my home
G Am C Em
She holds me and keeps me from worry and woe
G Em
Well, they took everything that she gave, now they're gone
G Am C Em
But I'll die on this mountain, this mountain's my home
[Verse 2]
G Em
I was young on this mountain but now I am old
G Am C Em
And I knew every holler and cool swimmin' hole
G Em
Till one night I lay down and woke up to find
G Am C Em
That my childhood was over and went down in the mine
[Chorus]
G Em
I was born on this mountain, this mountain's my home
G Am C Em
And she holds me and keeps me from worry and woe
G Em
Well, they took everything that she gave, now they're gone
G Am C Em
But I'll die on this mountain, this mountain's my home
[Interlude]
G Em G Am C Em
[Verse 3]
G Em
There's a hole in this mountain and it's dark and it's deep
G Am C Em
Oh the lord only knows all the secrets it keeps
G Em
There's a chill in the air only miners can feel
G Am C Em
And there are ghosts in the tunnels that the company sealed
[Chorus]
G Em
I was born on this mountain, this mountain's my home
G Am C Em
She holds me and keeps me from worry and woe

Well, they took everything that she gave, now they're gone
