I come from the mountains, Kentuckyâs my home,
Where the wild deer and the black bear so lately did wrong.
By the cool rushing waterfall, the wild flowers dream,
And through every green valley there runs a clear stream.
Now thereâs scenes of destruction on every hand,
And only black water runs down through my land.
Sad scenes of destruction on every hand,
Black waters, black waters run down through my land.
Oh, the queen, sheâs a pretty bird, she sings a sweet tune,
In the roots of dark timber she nests with her young.
Then the hill side explodes with a dynamiteâs roar,
And the voice of the small bird is heard there no more.
Then the mountain comes tumbling so awful and grand,
As the poison black waters run down through my land.
Sad scenes of destruction on every hand,
Black waters, black waters run down through my land.
In the coming of the spring time we planted our corn,
In the ending of the spring time we buried our son.
In the summer come a nice man, says everythingâs fine,
My employer just requires a way to his mine.
Then he blew down the timber, covered my corn
And the grave on the hillsideâs a mile deeper down.
And the man stands and talks with his hat in his hand
As the poison black waters rise over my land.
Sad scenes of destruction on every hand,
Black waters, black waters run down through my land.
Now I donât have much money, not much of a home,
I own my own land, but my landâs not my own.
But if I had ten million somewhereâs there abouts,
Iâd buy a pair of county and Iâd drive them all out.
Then Iâd sit on the bank with my babe and my can
And watch the clean waters run down through my land.
Oh, and that would be just like the old promised land,
Black waters, black waters no more in my land.
Black waters, black waters no more in my land.
