"If you see me coming better step aside,
A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died,
one arm of iron and the other of steel,
if the right one don't get you then the left one will"

I’d like to acknowledge that the song was written by Merle Travis. He was an amazing guitar player and a contemporary of Tennessee Ernie Ford

Cookie Monsta, It is “Store” because most coal miners purchased items from the “Company Store” and put it on Credit, to be paid when the miners received their pay check.

Mark, that doesn't even rhyme, which is the nicest thing I can say about it.

Guillermo Jr., yes it is. on Main street there is a marker in the middle of the road that says "Tennessee/Virginia". So yo can stand in two states at once.

Probably shouldn't a second Ford song (Shotgun Boogie). That's like asking for Grateful Dead's signature song--"Truckin'" or "Casey Jones?"
Answer: "China Cat Sunflower."
