Stirrin Up the Dust Lyrics & Tabs by The LoneTones
Stirrin Up the Dust
guitar chords lyrics
Big ol' wheels, spinnin' round
Muddy blades slice through the ground
Dynamite will make her noise
And ancient rocks will have no choice
Split the mountain to the bone
Hear those diesel engines groan
Fill ‘em up with shiny coal
Now the mountain is the hole
Mountains tremble and tumble down
Wakin' up the ghosts of the company towns
Listen closely you'll hear the sound
The Voices from the Mountains, hallowed in this ground
Stirin' up the dust, Stirin' up the dust
Stirin' up the dust, Stirin' up the dust
For 300 million years they've weathered on
Stirin' up the dust, Stirin' up the dust
Stirin' up the dust, Stirin' up the dust
For 300 million years they've weathered on
But once a mountain's gone it's gone
You can't put it back, it'll never be the same
No matter what they call it, no matter what they claim
Now it's all or nothin' in this dirty little tale
Where coal is king and lives are for sale
With a history of crooked lies
And blackened faces and tired eyes
Mountains tremble…
Blair Mountain, Bob White, Kayford Mountain, Fork Ridge, Sarah Anne, Island Creek Zeb Mountain, Black Mountain, Pickering Knob, Montgomery Creek, Huckleberry Ridge, Glen Alum, Marsh Fork, Buffalo Mountain
Lost Mountain, lost mountain, lost mountain, lost mountain
