{c:Verse 1}
[Em] When I was a [D] curly-headed [Em] baby
My daddy set me [D] down on his [Em] knee
Saying "Son you go to [D] school, you learn your [Em] letters
Don't you [C] be no dusty [D] miner, boy like [Em] me"
{soc}
I was [D] born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard [Em] Holler
Where the [D] coal cars rumbled past my [Em] door
But now they stand in a [D] rusty row of all [Em] empties
Because the [C] L&N don't [D] stop here any-[Em]more
{eoc}
{c:Verse 2}
I [Em] used to think my [D] Daddy was a [Em] black man
With scrip enough to [D] buy the company [Em] store
But now he goes to [D] town with empty [Em] pockets
And his [C] face is as white as the [D] February [Em] snow
{soc}
I was [D] born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard [Em] Holler
Where the [D] coal cars rumbled past my [Em] door
But now they stand in a [D] rusty row of all [Em] empties
Because the [C] L&N don't [D] stop here any-[Em]more
{eoc}
{c:Verse 3}
Never [Em] thought I'd live to [D] learn to love the [Em] coaldust
Never thought I'd pray to [D] hear those temples [Em] roar
But God I wish the [D] grass would turn to [Em] money
And then them [C] greenbacks would fill my [D] pockets once [Em] more
{soc}
I was [D] born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard [Em] Holler
Where the [D] coal cars rumbled past my [Em] door
But now they stand in a [D] rusty row of all [Em] empties
Because the [C] L&N don't [D] stop here any-[Em]more
{eoc}
{c:Verse 4}
Last [Em] night I dreamed I [D] went down to the [Em] office
To get my payday [D] like I done [Em] before
But them old kudzu vines was [D] covering the [Em] windows
And there was [C] leaves and grass growing [D] right up through the [Em] floor
{soc}
I was [D] born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard [Em] Holler
Where the [D] coal carts rumbled past my [Em] door
But now they stand in a [D] rusty row of all [Em] empties
Because the [C] L&N don't [D] stop here any-[Em]more
{c:Outro}
Because the [C] L&N don't [D] stop here any-[Em]more
Because the [C] L&N don't [D] stop here any-[Em]more
[D] [Em] [D] [Em] [D] [Em]
[D] [D] [D] [D] [Em]
