Appalachian Fall

Jim Savarino © 2003

Where have the mountains gone?
Carried away by the miners
But they were just doing their jobs
Feeding their kids while the coal companies robbed

The government says it's fine
We're just making room for people to live
But I'll never buy that line
We've taken till Nature has nothing to give

Chorus

	The coal companies stole like a thief in the night
	I didn't see them coming
	Now all the mountains are gone from my sight
	I didn't see them going

	My government tells me it's good for us all
	I'm sorry, I'm not buyin'
	The coal companies pay and my government crawls
	Shakin' my hand while they're lyin'

Where have the mountains gone?
Sombody stole my tomorrows
The coal companies packed and gone
Leavin me here with my sorrows

(Chorus)

Where have the mountains gone?
Carried away by the miners
Where have the mountains gone?
Where have the mountains gone?
