@yairiluvr my papa was a caudill, and a minor years ago in eastern kentucky. a little coal mining camp called Crummies..it's no longer there. The mines tore everything down after they shut down. Papa worked over 20 years in the mines, and even broke his back at one point. It's a tough way to make a living.

My Dad's family (Caudill) is from KY, and my Grandfather's brother, JESSE CAUDILL (born 1898) was a coal miner in Letcher Co, KY.

I really love this song. My husband is a coal miner here in Kentucky. My father and grandfathers also worked in the coal mines. Coal mining is a very dangerous job, but it is one of the only job around here that provides a good living for a man without a college education.

I was born a coal miner's great granddaughter.  Despite the danger, coal miners are proud of what they do and sometimes choose it over other professions.
