The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

i went to the mountain but the mountain wasn't there

i went to the mountain but the mountain wasn't there

i went to the mountain but the mountain wasn't there

all i saw was a pile of bare rock there

i went to the preacher and the preacher, he said

they blew out the coal and the company fled

they sold it to the north and the wealth was spread

but all we got for it was 22 dead

all we got for it was 22 dead

i went to the valley, the valley down below

i went to the valley, the valley down below

i went to the valley, the valley down below

but i did not see no clear creek flow

i went to the miner, and the miner said so

i blew up the mountain and i made a little dough

the very next day the floods did roar

and all i could think of was it wasn't from the lord

all i could think of was it wasn't from the lord

i'd go outside but the coal dust blows

i'd go outside but the coal dust blows

i'd go outside but the coal dust blows

it goes in my eyes and my lungs and my clothes

i went to the mother and the mother said son

my wells run red and the damage is done

i can't drink the water, i'll never be the same

without my mountain home i got no soul to claim

without my mountain home i got no soul to claim

i went to the mountain but the mountain wasn't there

i went to the mountain but the mountain wasn't there

i went to the mountain but the mountain wasn't there

all i saw was a pile of bare rock there
