The Ln Dont Stop Here Anymore

	  		
verse 1 

Em           D            Em 
When I was a curly-headed baby 
                D           Em 
My daddy set me down on his knee 
                      D                      Em 
Saying `Son you go to school, you learn your letters 
          C           D               Em 
Don't you be no dusty miner, boy like me' 

      D                                          Em 
I was born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard Holler 
          D                                     Em 
Where the coal carts rolled and rumbled past my door 
                        D                  Em 
But now they stand in a rusty row of all empties 
            C         D          Em 
Because the L&N don't stop here anymore 


verse 2 

  Em               D           Em 
I used to think my Daddy was a black man 
                     D               Em 
With scrip enough to buy the company store 
                   D               Em 
But now he goes to town with empty pockets 
        C                       D        Em 
And his face is as white as the February snow 

verse 3 

      Em                  D                 Em 
Never thought I'd live to learn to love the coaldust 
                          D                  Em 
Never thought I'd pray to hear those temples roar 
                   D                   Em 
But God I wish the grass would turn to money 
              C                        D            Em 
And then them greenbacks would fill my pockets once more 

verse 4 

     Em                D                Em 
Last night I dreamed I went down to the office 
                 D           Em 
To get my payday like I done before 
                             D            Em 
But them old kudzu vines was covering the doorway 
               C                       D                     Em 
And there was leaves and grass growing right up through the floor 

      D                                          Em 
I was born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard Holler 
          D                                     Em 
Where the coal carts rolled and rumbled past my door 
                        D                  Em 
But now they stand in a rusty row of all empties 
            C         D          Em 
Because the L&N don't stop here anymore
