[Verse 1]
When I was a curly-headed baby
My daddy set me down on his knee
He said, "Go to school and get your letters
Don't you be a dirty coal miner like me"
[Chorus]
I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Holler
Coal cars rumbled past my door
Now they stand in a rusty row all empty
'Cause the L and N don't stop here anymore
[Verse 2]
Well, I used to think my daddy was a black man
Script enough to buy the company store
Now he goes to town with empty pockets
And his face is white as February snow
[Chorus]
Well, I was born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard Holler
Coal cars rumbled past my door
Now they stand in a rusty row all empty
'Cause the L and N don't stop here anymore
[Instrumental Break]
