Story behind the song
My mother, Ruby, was raised in Coal Branch Holler in Logan, West Virginia. I wrote this song for her.
Lyrics
Going Back to coal branch V When the sun sets down behind the hills It's dark here in the valley The frogs and bees and whippoorwills They each sing their own song There's chunks of slate below my feet On this road I'm travelling I'm going back to Coal Branch V Now I left Coal Branch years ago I had my fill of mining I heard of jobs in Baltimore So I went on my way I left my Ruby all alone Her lovely green eyes shining With tears as I left Coal Branch Cho There's just one road up the mountain The journeys harder going down Than it is coming up All my memories roll right down to me Just like an avalanche So I'm going back to Coal Branch Vs I wonder if the road I laid Has slid on down the mountain Is my old house still standing On that little patch I cleared Is my Ruby waiting at the end Of these steps Ive been countin I'm going back to Coal Branch
