Tom: E major
Verse 1
F
I come from the mountains,
Kentucky's my home
Where the wild deer and black
bear so lately did roam

there runs a clear stream

And only black waters run

down through my land

Black waters, black waters,

run down through my land

Well, the quail, she's a pretty bird

and she sings a sweet tongue
In the roots of tall timber she
C

nests with her young

The the hillside explodes with
C

the dynamites roar

a sliding so awful and grand

rise over my land

In the coming of springtime

saying everything's fine
My employer just requires

a way to his mine

Then they tore down my mountain

and covered my corn

with my bait and my can

And watch the clear waters run
C
F
down through my land

Well,

wouldn't that be just like
the old promised land?

Black waters,
black waters no more in my land
Black waters,
C

black waters no more in my land
