Repeat chorus

Like his daddy and his daddy before him

He's doing all he has ever known

came back from the service

got a hat and a light and went straight under ground

each shift he works he ain't but six inches from hell

He seen a lot of good men give it all

and he draws his pay on Friday morning

he might stumble but he ain't gonna fall

It's amazing what we'll do

just to provide a home for our children

and try to give them a better life

He ain't never been perfect but he's perfect in there eyes

he's covered in coal in west Virginia

With his baby's on his mind

Dhe's (xx0232@1)covered in coal in west Virginia
