[Dm] [D]
[Dm] I was born [D] a miner's son on this blue ridge mountainside
[Dm] Daddy worked [D] his whole life down in that blue ridge mountain mine
Took a pickaxe in my hand Lord when I was just thirteen
Sent me down [D] to number nine [G] Lord [Bb] for the work the devil [D] said he did
They [Gm] said dig in deep boys dig the devil's blood
When you sleep tonight with that black dust in your lungs
You'll [Bb] be dreaming of [A] the devil [D] in blue
[A]
[Dm] [D]
Last night I was dreaming I was standing at the pulley gates
Miss ain't beat it bad but it said it did not know my name
Handed me a silver spade Lord and a pickaxe with my hand
Said I'll see you straight down [G] tonight Lord [Bb] never to see the [D] light again
They [Gm] said dig in deep boys dig the devil's blood
When you sleep tonight with that black dust in your lungs
[Bb] You'll be dreaming of [A] the [D] devil in blue
[Dm] [D]
When I'm dead don't bury me where the sun does not shine
Carry my body [Bm] over this mountain to the [D] sunny side
[Bm]
[D] Say a prayer over me boy let my spirit rise
Straight into the arms of [G] God Lord and his [D] everlasting light
