Verse 1
Em D Em Oh when I was a curly-headed baby Em D Em My daddy set me down upon his knee Em D Em Said "Son you go to school, and learn your letters Bm Em Don't be no dusty miner, like me"
Chorus
D Em I was born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard Holler D Em Coal cars roarin' and a'rumblin a'past my door Em Now they stand in a rusty row of empties Bm Em And the L & N don't stop here anymore
Verse 2
Em D Em I used to think my daddy was a black man Em D Em With scrip enough to buy the company store Em D Em But now he goes downtown with empty pockets Bm Em And his face is white as February snow
Chorus
D Em I was born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard Holler D Em Coal cars roarin' and a'rumblin a'past my door Em D Em Now they stand in a rusty row of empties Bm Em And the L & N don't stop here anymore
Verse 3
Em D Em Last night I dreamt I went down to the office Em D Em To get my payday like I done before Em D Em Them old kudzu vines had covered up the doorway Bm Em And there was trees and grass well a'growin right through the floor

Verse 4
Em D Em I never thought I'd live to love the coaldust Em D Em Never thought I'd pray to hear the whistle roar Em D Em But Lord how I wish that grass could change to money Bm Em Them greenbacks filled my pockets once more
Chorus
D Em I was born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard Holler D Em Coal cars roarin' and a'rumblin a'past my door Em D Em Now they stand in a rusty row of empties Bm Em And the L & N don't stop here anymore
