Behind the tar paper shack back in the holler

Old man shockin' corn and coilin' copper

He's about the only business in town

That ain't been boughted up 'fore the bank shut down

At first glance you might think times are hard

There ain't no coal comin' out of that shaft

There's rust all over the railroad tracks

You can't see nothing but a big old black

Cloud up in the sky

And if the good Lord don't see fit

To send a little sun down on these pines

That's fine

Old Leonard gonna make us shine

Way back and before these mines were tapped

He had a bigger dot there on the map

Who knows it might get better again

And who cares that train ain't rollin' in

Look beyond they're comin' 'round the mountain

There ain't no coal comin' out of that shaft

There's rust all over the railroad tracks

You can't see nothing but a big old black

Cloud up in the sky

And if the good Lord don't see fit

To send a little sun down on these pines

That's fine

Old Leonard gonna make us shine

He's gonna make us shine

There ain't no coal comin' out of that shaft

There's rust all over the railroad tracks

You can't see nothing but a big old black

Cloud up in the sky

And if the good Lord don't see fit

To send a little sun down on these pines

That's fine

That'll be just fine

Old Leonard gonna make us shine

Old Leonard gonna make us shine

Old Leonard's gonna make us shine

Gonna make us shine
