[D] When I was a [C]curly headed [D]baby My Daddy set me [C]down on his [D]knee He said, “Go to [C]school and get your [D]letters Don’t you [A7]be a dirty coal miner like [D]me”

I was [C]born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard [D]Holler The [C]coal cars rolled and rumbled past my [D]door Now they stand in a [C]rusty row all [D]empty ‘Cause the [A7]L&N, don’t stop here any[D]more

Well, I used to think my [C]daddy was a [D]black man With script enough to [C]buy the company [D]store Now he goes to [C]town with empty [D]pockets And his [A7]face is white as a February [D]snow

I was [C]born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard [D]Holler The [C]coal cars rolled and rumbled past my [D]door Now they stand in a [C]rusty row all [D]empty ‘Cause the [A7]L&N, don’t stop here any[D]more

Well, I never thought I’d [C]learn to love the [D]coal dust Never thought I’d pray to [C]hear that whistle [D]roar Lord god, I wish the [C]grass would turn to [D]money And those [A7]greenbacks fill my pockets up once [D]more

Yeah, I was [C]born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard [D]Holler The [C]coal cars rolled and rumbled past my [D]door Now they stand in a [C]rusty row all [D]empty ‘Cause the [A7]L&N, don’t stop here any[D]more

Last night I dreamed I [C]went down to the [D]coal yard To draw my pay like [C]I had done be[D]fore Them Kudzu vines were [C]covering all the [D]windows There were [A7]leaves and grass growing right up through the [D]floor

I was [C]born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard [D]Holler The [C]coal cars rolled and rumbled past my [D]door Now they stand in a [C]rusty row all [D]empty ‘Cause the [A7]L&N, don’t stop here any[D]more
