Black Lung Heartache lyrics

Well I'm a man of the mountain

I'm just made of dirt

Of this Earth I traveled

Like a shepherd and his herd

[Chorus:]

And I said hang on, hang on

Black lung heartache

I sleep in a modest house

These green hills I mind

And if I plow tend my children

Who will be by the side?

[Chorus:]

And I said hang on, hang on

Black Lung Heartache

I've shed many tears

Seems I can?t shed no more

You can see them on the table

You can see 'em on the floor

[Chorus Variation:]

Now I said hang on, hang on

Black lung heartache

I've seen many men

They become hard as nails

Carrying the hammers like keys to a jail

[Chorus Variation:]

Now I said hang on, hang on

Black lung heartache

Now I said so long, so long

Black lung heartache
