Coal Mountain Lullaby

The rip-rap will hold
Though the cold wind blows
And tomorrow we’ll walk in the morning
The clouds they will clear
There’s nothing to fear
And tomorrow we’ll walk in the morning
And I have a promise for you
All your days you’ll not go down in the ground
When you sing, I will sing
When you run, I will not judge you
And you’ll never go down in the ground
One day we’ll climb out
Of this coal mountain town
Pack the truck and head off to the ocean
Sleep now my child
Don’t you fear the wild wind
Tomorrow we’ll walk in the morning
