         G                 F                   G 
1. 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.' 

           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 empty row all dusty, 
             D                                         G 
and the L & N don't stop here anymore. 

                G                         F                   G 
2. 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. 

           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 empty row all dusty, 
             D                                         G 
and the L & N don't stop here anymore. 

( G F G  G F G  D G ) 

             G                          F                         G 
3. 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. 

           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.
