It's a Dsad day in Floyd GCounty Mr. DJones,G  
Yeah the grief is Dstrong,
 AFor the man that's Dgone.A  
And at the Dgrave his woman Gcries and she Dmoans,G  
'Cause its a Dsad day in Floyd ACounty, Mr. DJones.
The six Cchildren he Graised are all Dweepin',
For this Csoft-spokeGn mountain Dman.
That Cfed 'em with the Gmoney he Dearned in those black Gmines,
And the Dfood he could Araise with his Dhands.
'Cause it's a sad day in Floyd GCounty Mr. DJones,G  
Yeah the grief is Dstrong,
 AFor the man that's Dgone.A  
And at the Dgrave his woman Gcries and she Dmoans,G  
'Cause its a Dsad day in Floyd ACounty, Mr. DJones.
Though the Cworld knew Gnothing of his Dwisdom,
Or the Chonest and Gsimple things he Ddid.
There's some Cfolks Gcryin' on this Dhillside Gtoday,
That Dknow about the Ahumble way he Dlived.
'Cause it's a sad day in Floyd GCounty Mr. DJones,G  
Yeah the grief is Dstrong,
 AFor the man that's Dgone.A  
And at the Dgrave his woman Gcries and she Dmoans,G  
'Cause its a Dsad day in Floyd ACounty, Mr. DJones.
 [Instrumental]
D   G   D   G   D   A   D
Now this Chouse in the Gholler stands Dempty,
Though his Cpresence in my Gmemory is Dplain.
You know I'd Cswear that I just Gsaw him Dwalking up that Ghill,
I guess this Dplace won't Gnever be the Dsame.
'Cause it's a sad day in Floyd GCounty Mr. DJones,G  
Yeah the grief is Dstrong,
 AFor the man that's Dgone.A  
And at the Dgrave his woman Gcries and she Dmoans,G  
'Cause its a Dsad day in Floyd ACounty, Mr. DJones.
