I live beside
This old coal mine
The whistle blows every day on time
The rain pours down
And the wind blows hard
Black flowers grow in my yard
When I lost my man
Down a dark coal shaft
I swear I heard the devil laugh
The angels left, and they took my heart
Now black flowers grow in my yard
And the undertaker
Is a busy man
He's got a clean blue shirt
He's got soft pink hands
He's got a big driveway and a brand new car
Black flowers grow in the yard
And when the baby cries
I sing hush, little one
I fear that I'm gonna come undone
'Cause when the rain pours down and the wind blows hard
Black flowers grow in my yard
Black flowers grow in my yard
