The Lincoln-Logan Line

                                    I was born in West Virginia

                                    in the spring of ‘49

                                    I grew up a bare-foot boy there

                                    on the Lincoln-Logan Line

                                    Could have lived in West Virginia

                                    But they closed the Big Creek mine

                                    moved away from Broad Branch holler

                                    and the Lincoln-Logan Line

                                    I was born in West Virginia

                                    on the Lincoln-Logan Line

                                    when I die take me back there

                                    leave the flatlands far behind

                                    Blast a hole inside the mountain

                                    tell my friends I’m doing fine

                                    drop me down inside the bedrock

                                    on the Lincoln-Logan Line

           

                                    Let me lie inside the mountain

                                    tell the Lord that I decline

                                    ‘cause I’ve found my piece of heaven

                                    on the Lincoln-Logan Line
