Intro: D 

             C            D 
When I was a curly headed baby 
                C           D 
My Daddy set me down on his knee 
                    C                   D 
He said, "Son go to school and get your letters 
          Am                         D 
Don't you be a dirty coal miner like me" 

 
      C                                          D 
I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow 
    C                         D 
The coal cars rumbled past my door 
                    C             D 
Now they stand in a rusty row all empty 
           Am                           D 
'Cause the L & N --- don't stop here anymore 



                         C           D 
Well, I used to think my daddy was a black man 
                      C               D 
With script enough to buy the company store 
               C               D 
Now he goes to town with empty pockets 
        Am                          D 
And his face is white as a February snow 


      C                                          D 
I was born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard Hollow 
    C                         D 
The coal cars rumbled past my door 
                    C             D 
Now they stand in a rusty row all empty 
           Am                           D 
'Cause the L & N --- don't stop here anymore

                          C                 D 
Well, I never thought I'd learn to love the coal dust 
                          C                 D 
Never thought I'd pray to hear that whistle roar 
                     C                   D 
Lord god, I wish the grass would turn to money 
          Am                                 D 
And those greenbacks fill my pockets up once more 

 
            C                                          D 
Yeah, I was born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard Hollow 
    C                                    D 
The coal cars roared and rumbled past my door 
                    C             D 
Now they stand in a rusty row all empty 
           Am                           D 
'Cause the L & N --- don't stop here anymore 



                       C                D 
Last night I dreamed I went down to the coal yard 
                    C             D 
To draw my pay like I  had done before 
                      C                D 
Them Kudzu vines were covering all the windows 
           Am                                            D 
There were leaves and grass growing right up through the floor 


      C                                          D 
I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow 
    C                                    D 
The coal cars roared and rumbled past my door 
                    C             D 
Now they stand in a rusty row all empty 
           Am        N.C.               D 
'Cause the L & N --- don't stop here anymore
