Well when I was a curly headed baby
My Daddy sat me down upon his knee
He said,
"Son, you go to school to learn your letters.
Don't you be a dusty miner like me


I was born and raised at the mouth of a Hazard holler
With the coal cars rolling and rumbling by my door
But now they're standing in a rusty row of empties
And the L&N don't stop here no more

I used to think my Daddy was a black man
With scrip enough to buy the company store
But now we walks downtown with empty pockets
And a face as white as February snow

I was born and raised at the mouth of a Hazard holler
With the coal cars rolling and rumbling by my door
But now they're standing in a rusty row of empties
And the L&N don't stop here no more

I dreamt last night I went down to the office
To get my pay just like l'd done before
But there was kudzu vines grown up over the window
And there was leaves and grass growing right up through the floor

I never thought I'd love to learn that coal dust
Never thought I'd pray for the tipple's roar
Oh how I wish the grass would turn to money
And greenback's fill my pockets once more

I was born and raised at the mouth of a Hazard holler
With the coal cars rolling and rumbling by my door
But now they're standing in a rusty row of empties
And the L&N don't stop here no more
