Gene Clark Give My Love To Marie Lyrics

Give My Love To Marie Lyrics

I`m a black lung miner from East Tennessee 
G D 
Raised my family on cold dust and beans 
G C Em Am 
That old black lung`s got me no life left in me 
G Am C G 
Hang the lantern in the window give my love to Marie 
G C G 
 
For twenty-five years I`ve worked in the mines 
G D 
 
Where the earth is as black as a cold winters night 
 
G C Em Am 
 
There`s a million in the ground not a penny for me 
G Am C G 
 
Hang the latern in the window give my love to Marie 
G C G 
 
I`ve loved all my children six sons of mine 
G D 
 
I pray that they never must work in the mine 
G C Em Am 
 
For the black lung will get them they`ll die just like me 
G Am C G 
Hang the latern in the window give my love to Marie 
 
SOLO 
 
G C G 
 
There`s frost on the ground ice in the trees 
G D 
The air is so heavy I can`t hardly breathe 
G C Em Am 
 
Oh the old black lung`s got me and soon I`ll be free 
G Am C G 
 
Hang my latern in the window give my love to Marie 
G Am C G 
 
Hang my latern in the window give my love to Marie
