1. When I was a curly headed baby,
                     F           
    my daddy sat me down upon his 
   G
knee.
                                 F 
    He said, "Boy, you go to school
                 G
 and learn your letters,
              D                    
    don't you be a dirty miner like
 G
 me."

       F                           
I was born and raised in the mouth 
               G
of the Hazard Hollow,
 F                         G
coal cars rambled past my door,
                            F      
Now they're standing in an empty 
       G
row all dusty,
        D                    
and the L & N don't stop here 
     G
anymore.

2. Well, I used to think my daddy 
       G
was a black man,
                           F     
    with script enough to buy the 
           G
company store.
                     F           
    Now he goes downtown with his 
         G
pockets empty,
             D                  
    and his face is white as the 
            G
February snow.

       F                           
I was born and raised in the mouth 
               G
of the Hazard Hollow,
 F                         G
coal cars rambled past my door,
                            F      
Now they're standing in an empty 
       G
row all dusty,
        D                    
and the L & N don't stop here 
     G
anymore.

3. Last night I dreamed I went 
          G
down to the coal yard
                         F      
    to draw my pay just like I'd 
        G
done before.
                               F   
    Them ol' kudzu vines were 
               G
coming through the window,
   and the weeds and grass were 
  D                   G
growing through the floor.

       F                           
I was born and raised in the mouth 
               G
of the Hazard Hollow,
 F                         G
coal cars rambled past my door,
                           F       
Now they're standing in a rusty row
      G
 all empty,
        D                    
and the L & N don't stop here 
     G
anymore.

          D                  
And the L & N don't stop here 
       G
anymore.
