Lyrics

KING OF LOGAN COUNTY

There's a king in Logan county
Sheriff Chapin is his name
Well he's got more deputy sheriffs
Than a horse has hairs in his mane

| If you ever come to Logan county
| The king will show you his hospitality
| He'll either have you sittin' in the hoosgow
| Or give you a taste of police brutality

* Logan county, Logan county
* West Virgina hang your head in shame
* There's a king in Logan county
* And coal money is to blame
* While operators and sheriffs are sharing the bounty
* They're keeping the union out of the mines
* And the constitution out of the county

Well if you're a union organizer
You're likely to disappear
Cause the sheriff's the judge and executioner
And a union's a capital offense 'round here

If you ever come to Logan county
The king will show you his hospitality
He'll either have you sittin' in the hoosgow
Or give you a taste of police brutality

Chorus (2x)
