Johnny Cash Album: More of Old Golden Throat Track: Bottom of the Mountain Bottom of the Mountain Lyrics (Don McKinnon) © '65 Tree Publishing, BMI I was born in West Virginia where the land is black with coal For a man to feed his family takes twelve hours a day A diggin' in the big black hole Way down in the bottom of a mountain way down in the bottom of a hole Way down in the bottom of a mountain I'm diggin' and a shovelin' and a loadin' out the dirty black coal Some men give their wives jewelry some men give their wives gold But all I cn give to my sweet woman Are the few dollars I make a diggin' out the dirty black coal Way down in the bottom... I draw script for most of my money I never see a lot of that I work all week and go to church on Sunday Well the preacher gonna get what's left when they pass the hat Way down in the bottom... I'm diggin' and a shovelin' and a loadin' out the dirty black coal
