D G D
It's a sad day in Floyd County, Mr. Jones,
G D A D
Yeah, the grief is strong for the man that's gone,
A D G D
And at the grave his woman cries and she moans,
G D A D
Cause it's a sad day in Floyd County, Mr. Jones.
C G D
The six children he raised are all weeping,
C G D
For this soft-spoken mountain man,
C G
Who fed them with the money,
D G
He earned in those black mines,
D A D
And the food he could raise with his hands.
D G D
It's a sad day in Floyd County, Mr. Jones,
G D A D
Yeah, the grief is strong for the man that's gone,
A D G D
And at the grave his woman cries and she moans,
G D A D
Cause it's a sad day in Floyd County, Mr. Jones.
C G D
Though the world knew nothing of his wisdom,
C G D
Or the honest and simple things he did,
C G D G
There's some folks crying on this hillside today,
D A D
That know about the humble way he lived.
D G D
It's a sad day in Floyd County, Mr. Jones,
G D A D
Yeah, the grief is strong for the man that's gone,
A D G D
And at the grave his woman cries and she moans,
G D A D
Cause it's a sad day in Floyd County, Mr. Jones.
C G D
Now this house in the holler stands empty,
C G D
Though his presence in my memory is plain,
C
You know that I'd swear that,
G D G
I just saw him walking up that hill,
D A D
I guess this place just won't never be the same.
D G D
It's a sad day in Floyd County, Mr. Jones,
G D A D
Yeah, the grief is strong for the man that's gone,
A D G D
And at the grave his woman cries and she moans,
G D A D
Cause it's a sad day in Floyd County, Mr. Jones.
