Well it was good [A] one time, [G] everything [D] was mighty fine,
The coal [A] tipples roared day [D] and night, But [A] things they got slow, for no [G] reason [D] that I know,
And hill [A] winds they hold in [D] the side, The mines all [A] closed down, [G] and everybody laid [D] around,
There wasn't very [A] much left to [D] do, Except stand in that [A] line, and get [G] your ration script [D] on time,
And woman I could see it killing you, Now the soft new snow's of December,
Life you [Bm] followed [G] by cabin [D] rattle, And the last train from [G] poor valley,
[D] Taking [G] brown [A] haired Becky [G] [D] Richmond,
[A] [G]

It's been a coming [A] on a new Lord,
[G]
Soon you [D] would be gone, Leaving crossed your [A] [Em] mind every [D]
day,
Then you [A] said to me, Things [G] are bad back [D] home you see, I guess I'd better be,
So I should blame [A] you now, [G] But I never [D] could somehow, A [A] miner's wife you weren't could [C#] how to [D]
be,
It wasn't [A] what you thought, Just [G] some dreams [D] that you bought,
When you left home and [A] ran away with [D]
me, Now the soft new snow's [A] of [D] December,
[Bm] Life you followed [G]
by [D] cabin rattle, And the last train from [G] poor valley,
[D] Taking [G] brown [A] haired [G] Becky [D] Richmond, And so the last train from [G] poor valley,
Is [D] taking [G] brown [A] haired [G] Becky [D] Richmond down.
