Cold and Lonesome

Cold and Lonesome

VERSE

Well it’s cold and lonesome, down in the mines

Those were the words granddad told me

When I saw him for the last time

Granddaddy don’t go away

Can you stay here just a while more

I’ve gotta’ go my child

As he winked at me and headed towards the door

CHORUS

He’s coal mining in Kentucky, while I’m here alone in Tennessee


VERSE

Listen to Granny while I’m gone, in that deep mine digging coal

Be good for granddaddy

I’ll be home before long you know

Come sit by me child, let’s pray while granddad’s away

May the Lord, bless and keep him

Here our call Lord this we pray

CHORUS

He’s coal mining in Kentucky, while I’m here alone in Tennessee

BRIDGE

We Never saw him again, just like the leaves blowing in the wind

Now it’s only me and granny, in Tennessee alone we’ll always be


CHORUS

He’s coal mining in Kentucky, while I’m here alone in Tennessee
