[Verse 1]
C Am
I was born on a mountain a long time ago
C Dm F Am
Before they cut down the timber and strip-mined the coal
C Am
When you rose in the mornin' before it was light
C Dm F Am
To go down in some dark hole come back up at night
[Chorus]
C Am
I was born on this mountain, this mountain's my home
C Dm F Am
and she knows me and keeps me from worry and woe
C Am
Well, they took everything that she gave, now they're gone
C Dm F C
But I will die on this mountain, this mountain's my home
[Verse 2]
C Am
I was young on this mountain but now I am old
C Dm F Am
And I knew every holler, every cool swimmin' hole
C Am
'til one day i woke up, I woke up to find
C Dm F Am
That my childhood is over went down in that mine
[Chorus]
C Am
but I was born on this mountain, this mountain's my home
C Dm F Am
and she knows me and keeps me from worry and woe
C Am
Well, they took everything that she gave, now they're gone
C Dm F C
But I will die on this mountain, this mountain's my home

[Verse 3]
C Am
well there's a hole in this mountain it's dark and it's deep
C Dm F C
And god only knows all the secrets it keeps
C Am
There's a chill in the air only miners can feel
C Dm F Am
Well there's ghosts in the tunnels the company sealed
[Chorus]
C Am
but I was born on this mountain, this mountain's my home
C Dm F Am
and she knows me and keeps me from worry and woe
C Am
Well, they took everything that she gave, now they're gone
Am Dm F C
But I will die on this mountain, this mountain's my home
