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
