I ran these hills since the day I could standAnd I worked the mines since the year I turned tenWe got married and danced to Cannon and DeanAnd I held our baby with your eyes at seventeenAnd I kissed you above and beneath the December skyThen I walked and worked through Monongah to the mineThrough King Cole's Hall to the wall that I pineThat day cut short, a spark by the divineSo don't go weepin' so longSingin' the melody of our songCause I'm back in the play where I'll find you somedayOh, my darlin', sorry for the waitWhen you miss talkin' at me, hollerin' towards the mineIt's amazing how your voice echoes insideWhen the winter breeze tugs at your hairJust know that it's meWith a grin standin' thereSo don't go weepin' so longSingin' the melody of our songCause I'm back in the play where I'll find you somedayOh, my darlin', sorry for the waitWhen you miss talkin' at me, hollerin' towards the mineThat day cut short, a spark by the mineThrough King Cole's Hall to the wall that I pineThat day cut short, a spark by the mineJust know that it's meSo don't go weepin' so longSingin' the melody of our songCause I'm back in the play where I'll find you somedaySo don't go weepin' so longSingin' the melody of our songCause I'm back in the play where I'll find you somedayOh, my darlin', sorry for the waitYes, I'm sorry for the waitOh, my darlin', sorry for the waitOh, my darlin', sorry for the wait
