He came into to town in the early springtime to work with my daddy down in the mines It was hot in the summer when he said good-bye and he left me a secret I can no longer hide... Now the only thing here that is welcoming me A A is a cold rainy morning and a Greyhound bus seat He just had to come back and try to explain Cry for your daughter Appalacian rain... Mountains of sorrow , mountains of pain you'll never give for my baby a name my family's honor , took it away cry for your daughter , Appalacian rain... VERSE 2 I was washed in the blood in the river you filled Now the sound of a shotgun rings through the hills and the blood of her father runs through it's veins Cry for your daughter , Appalacian rain... CHORUS REPETED;Then the ending; Tears in the holler , tears of my shame Cry for your daughter , Appalacian rain... The intro (chord )is the same as the verse...
