Wonderful video and a beautiful song.You truly have a beautiful voice Jean. We don't hear music like this anymore. I was completely unaware the disasterous effect of coal mining in Appalachia. I'm ignorantly living here in California far from your nightmare. Why isn't this on 20/20 or Primetime? I should have known about this problem and I'm sorry I didn't.

Look at these photos. It tells it all. Thank you so much for this song AND the video. When I was small...younger than 7...my daddy taught me how to find food and water in the woods. After that he told me to NEVER drink the water. It has ruined the forests and woods...and homes if in a flood area...all for greed. The companies wanted the coal the easiest and CHEAPEST way they could get it. the Didn't care about the people, history, or environment. Thank you for your upload!

Beautiful voice, song and message :)

I do not have words to describe how much I love Jean Ritchie.

This song is so touching, and beautifully performed. I'm from the Ozarks and was always so glad no coal was found there. Well now they've found natural gas deposits and boy the young men are lining up for jobs. I hope we can learn from the disaster of Appalachian coal mining before we've spoiled our beautiful mountains. It will take people speaking out like this. Thank you Ms. Ritchie for the song.

@georgepickow It's Czech and I'm Polish, so can understand most of it. It says, "Thank you for (don't get what 'uzasny zazitek' is). Whenever I listen to this music I forget about the world around me. Thank you. Vlkas"
