[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"
{c: }
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 --- [NC] don't stop here any-[D]more
{c: }
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
{c: }
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 --- [NC] don't stop here any-[D]more
{c: }

{eos}
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
{c: }
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 --- [NC] don't stop here any-[D]more
{c: Single strums and slower }
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
{c: }
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 --- [NC] don't stop here any-[D]more
