Jesse got trapped in a coal mine
Digging in the dark black pearl
Jesse got trapped in a coal mine
Never did marry his girl
There ain't no air and there ain't no light
And there ain't no way to make it out alive
His wedding was planned for the 5th of July
But Jesse got trapped in a coal mine and never did marry his girl
Your hands gets black and your eyes get burned
And your lungs get tired and poor
It draws you in like a opium den
It beckons you back for more
There ain't no air and there ain't no light
And there ain't no way to make it out alive
His wedding was planned for the 5th of July
But Jesse got trapped in a coal mine and never did marry his girl
Down, down under West Virginia
Down, down in the pitch black earth
Down, down on her knees she cried
My love is somewhere in that mountain
Jesse got trapped in a coal mine
Digging in the dark black pearl
Jesse got trapped in a coal mine
Never did marry his girl
She held out hope for a couple of months
That he was still living somewhere
And he'd put up the strongest kind of fight
He'd dig himself out with the dynamite
He'd finally be free on the 5th of July
But Jesse got trapped in the coal mine and never did marry his girl
Down, down under West Virginia
Down, down in the pitch black earth
Down, down on her knees she cried
Down, down deep below the surface
Down, down by the Mason-Dixon line
Down, down on her knees she cried
My love is somewhere in that mountain
