Verse G F G When I was a curly headed baby, F G my daddy sat me down upon his knee. F G He said, "Boy, you go to school and learn your letters, D G don't you be a dirty miner like me." Chorus F G I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow, F G coal cars rambled past my door, F G Now they're standing in an rusty row all empty, D G and the L & N don't stop here anymore. Verse 2 F G Well, I used to think my daddy was a black man, F G with script enough to buy the company store. F G Now he goes downtown with his pockets empty, D G and his face is white as the February snow. Chorus F G I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow, F G coal cars rambled past my door, F G Now they're standing in an rusty row all empty, D G and the L & N don't stop here anymore. Instrumental (GFGGFGDG) Verse 3 G F G Last night I dreamed I went down to the coal yard F G to draw my pay just like I'd done before. F G Them ol' kudzu vines were coming through the window, D G and the weeds and grass were growing through the floor. Chorus F G I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow, F G coal cars rambled past my door, F G Now they're standing in a rusty row all empty, D G and the L & N don't stop here anymore. D G And the L & N don't stop here anymore.
