Lyrics
When I was a curly headed baby My daddy sat me down upon his knee He said, "boy, you go to school and learn your letters Don't you be a dirty miner like me"
I was born and raised in the mouth of the hazard hollow Coal cars rambled past my door Now they're standin' in a rusty row all empty And the l & n Don't stop here anymore
I used to think my daddy was a black man With script enough to buy the company store Now he goes downtown with empty pockets And his face is white as a february snow
I was born and raised in the mouth of the hazard hollow Coal cars rambled past my door Now they're standin' in a rusty row all empty And the l & n Don't stop here anymore
Last night I dreamed I went down to the coal yard To draw my pay like I always did before But them ol' kudzu vines were comin' through the window And the leaves and grass were growin' through the floor
I was born and raised in the mouth of the hazard hollow Coal cars rambled past my door Now they're standin' in a rusty row all empty And the l & n Don't stop here anymore
