B C#m
[Verse 1]
C#m A
She lays her head in the Blue Ridge mountains
C#m A
Covered up in the tall old pines
C#m A
Running trails where there ain't no traveling
C#m A
Up to the brush creek line
[Verse 2]
C#m A
20 miles down a dead-end holler
C#m A
To meet a man for the whole year's haul
C#m A
Through the mud and that sulfur water
C#m A
Down where the panthers bawl
[Verse 3]
B A
He weighs it out on that backhoe trailer
B A
And pays with no complaint
C#m A
Hard as hell, like a coffin nail
B C#m
That little mountain saint
[Verse 4]
C#m A
And had every job in that old coal county
C#m A
The dairy bars and the dollar stores
C#m A
Workin' hard tryin' to raise that family
C#m A
She never could afford
[Verse 5]
C#m A
Just a girl from the mouth of hazard
C#m A
Bet it all on a river fool
C#m A
Used to sit cleaning junk he gathered
C#m A
When every flood come through
[Verse 6]
B A
They pulled him out of that muddy water
B A
She didn't cry or faint
C#m A
Went on her own where the cold wind moans
B C#m
That little mountain saint
[Bridge]
B A C#m B
And always swears if you live right, you won't be seen
A B C#m B
Ain't no crown for this country hustling queen
[Verse 7]
C#m A
She ends her day with her favorite bourbon
C#m A
Warming up while it's turning cold
C#m A
Bets the last of the white oak burning
C#m A
See what the winter holds
[Verse 8]
B A
Covers up in that blacked out cabin
B A
Dreams of gold and paints
C#m A
She's riding high 'neath the southern sky
B C#m
That little mountain saint
[Outro]
A B C#m
