As I'm not native english language speaker, it's quite difficult for me to understand some parts of lyrics. Thanks in advance. |

If you still have trouble with the lyrics, the original, by Ivan Lee Meece (click) is much easier to understand, but more of a country song rather than bluegrass. MINER'S LADY (Ivan Lee Meece) She welcomes him with open arms to a valley lush and wild Her cabin is her castle, and Southern is her style She's hell on wheels a-booming across the mountainside A barefoot country woman, a snow-white Persian bride CHORUS: She's tall like a pine, pretty like a flower Gentle woman, country cooking folks are fine Dancing woman, banjo ringing through the pines Lonely woman, til the miner's lantern softly shines She rocks her baby tenderly in the midnight of a storm When all she ever longs for is a man to keep her warm But fire burns in her body from the mines down below Down where her love is digging in the jet-black diamond coal CHORUS (x2) Banjo ringing through the pines ########################################################### This is a transcription of the J. D. Crowe version. The original version by Meece does not have the line "She's hell on wheels a-booming..." instead singing "She's a miner's rock of ages upon the mountainside" |
