Behind the tar paper shack back in the holler,
|
Old man shockin' corn and coilin' copper,
|
He's about the only business in town,
|
That ain't been boughted up 'fore the bank shut down.
|
|
At first glance, you might think times are hard
|
|
There ain't no coal comin' out of that shaft
|
There's rust all over the railroad tracks
|
You can't see nothing but a big old black
|
Cloud up in the sky
|
And if the good Lord don't see fit
|
To send a little sun down on these pines
|
That's fine
|
Old Leonard gonna make us shine
|
|
Way back and before these mines were tapped
|
He had a bigger dot there on the map
|
Who knows, it might get better again
|
And who cares that train ain't rollin' in
|
|
Look beyond, they're comin' 'round the mountain
|
|
There ain't no coal comin' out of that shaft
|
There's rust all over the railroad tracks
|
You can't see nothing but a big old black
|
Cloud up in the sky
|
And if the good Lord don't see fit
|
To send a little sun down on these pines
|
That's fine
|
Old Leonard gonna make us shine
|
He's gonna make us shine
|
|
There ain't no coal comin' out of that shaft
|
There's rust all over the railroad tracks
|
You can't see nothing but a big old black
|
Cloud up in the sky
|
And if the good Lord don't see fit
|
To send a little sun down on these pines
|
That's fine
|
That'll be just fine
|
Old Leonard gonna make us shine
|
|
Old Leonard gonna make us shine
|
Old Leonard's gonna make us shine
|
Gonna make us shine
|
