Verse Well it was good one time everything was mighty fine The coal temples roared day and night But things they got slow for no reason that I know And ill winds they hove into sight Verse The mines all closed down everybody laid around There wasn't very much left to do Except stand in that line to get your ration script on time And woman I could see it killin' you Now the soft new snows of December Lightly fall my cabin 'round And the last train from Poor Valley Takin' brown haired Becky Richmond bound Verse It's been a comin' on and on lord soon you would be gone Leavin' crossed your mind every day Then you said to me things are bad back home you see I guess I better be on my way Verse Well I should blame you now but I never could somehow A miner's wife you weren't cutout to be It wasn't what you thought just some dreams that you'd bought When you left home and ran away with me Now the soft new snows of December Lightly fall my cabin 'round And the last train from Poor Valley Takin' brown haired Becky Richmond bound Outro And the last train from Poor Valley Takin' brown haired Becky Richmond bound
