When I was a curly headed baby My daddy sat me down upon his knee He said, "Go to school and learn your letters Don't you be a dusty coalminer like me" I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow Where the coal cars rumbled past my door Now they're standing in a rusty row all empty 'Cause 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 to town with empty pockets And his face is white as a February snow Yeah, I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow Where the coal cars rumbled past my door Now they're standing in a rusty row all empty 'Cause the L&N don't stop here anymore I never thought I'd learned to love the coaldust And I thought I'd pray to hear that whistle roar Oh, God, I wish the grass would turn to money Those greenbacks fill my pockets once more I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow Where the coal cars rumbled past my door Now they're standing in a rusty row all empty 'Cause the L&N don't stop here anymore Last night I dreamed I went down to the coalyard To draw my pay like I have done before But them kudzu vines were covering all the windows And there were leaves and grass growing through the floor I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow Where the coal cars rumbled past my door Now they're standing in a rusty row all empty 'Cause the L&N don't stop here anymore
