Em D Em When I was a curly-headed babyD Em My daddy set me down on his kneeD Em Saying "Son you go to school, you learn your lettersC D Em Don't you be no dusty miner, boy like me" [Chorus]D Em I was born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard HollerD Em Where the coal carts rolled and rumbled past my doorD Em But now they stand in a rusty row of all emptiesC 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 manD Em With scrip enough to buy the company storeD Em But now he goes to town with empty pocketsC 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 coaldustD Em Never thought I'd pray to hear those temples roarD Em But God I wish the grass would turn to moneyC 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 officeD Em To get my payday like I done beforeD Em But them old kudzu vines was covering the doorwayC D Em And there was leaves and grass growing right up through the floor [Chorus]D Em I was born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard HollerD Em Where the coal carts rolled and rumbled past my doorD Em But now they stand in a rusty row of all emptiesC D Em Because the L&N don't stop here anymore
The L And N Dont Stop Here Anymore
