My brother was a [C]Springfield Mountain [G]coal miner

Thirty miners [C]died down in that [G]cave-in
Thirteen times we've [C]brought the wagons [D]down
There's [C]twenty graves we'll be digging in the [G]churchyard
Ten more in the [D]mountains under[Em]ground[C]
[G]Ten more in the [D]mountains under[G]ground[G7]

Lay [C]down dear [G]brother, [D]Daddy's gonna take you [G]home

And my sister was a [C]coal miner's [G]daughter
My daddy was a [C]coal miner's [D]son
My [C]family's lived and died on this [G]mountain
Down in the ground where the [D]sun don't ever [Em]come[C]
Down [G]in the ground where the [D]sun don't ever [G]come

One more year I'll be [C]ready for the [G]coal mine
One more year and [C]I'll be going [D]down
But [C]every night when I pass by that [G]mountain
I cry to see my [D]brother under[Em]ground[C]
Yes, I [G]cry to see my [D]brother under[G]ground

Where the cold wind [Em]blows[C]

CHORUS:
Lay [G]down dear brother, [D]Daddy's gonna take you [G]home
