The L & N Don’t Stop Here Anymore Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I was a curly-headed baby
My daddy sat me down upon his knee
He said, "Boy, you go to school and learn your letters
Don't you be a dirty miner like me"
[Chorus]
I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow
Coal cars rambled past my door
Now they're standing in a rusty row, all empty
And the L and N don't stop here anymore
[Verse 2]
I used to think my daddy was a black man
With script enough to buy the company store
Now he goes downtown with empty pockets
And his face is white as a February snow
[Chorus]
I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow
Coal cars rambled past my door
Now they're standing in a rusty row, all empty
And the L and N don't stop here anymore
[Fiddle Solo]
When I was a curly-headed baby
My daddy sat me down upon his knee
He said, "Boy, you go to school and learn your letters
Don't you be a dirty miner like me"
[Chorus]
I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow
Coal cars rambled past my door
Now they're standing in a rusty row, all empty
And the L and N don't stop here anymore
[Verse 2]
I used to think my daddy was a black man
With script enough to buy the company store
Now he goes downtown with empty pockets
And his face is white as a February snow
[Chorus]
I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow
Coal cars rambled past my door
Now they're standing in a rusty row, all empty
And the L and N don't stop here anymore
[Fiddle Solo]
[Verse 3]
Last night I dreamed I went down to the coal yard
To draw my pay like I always did before
But them old kudzu vines were coming through the windows
And leaves and grass were growing through the floor
[Chorus]
I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow
Coal cars rambled past my door
Now they're standing in a rusty row, all empty
And the L and N don't stop here anymore
Last night I dreamed I went down to the coal yard
To draw my pay like I always did before
But them old kudzu vines were coming through the windows
And leaves and grass were growing through the floor
[Chorus]
I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow
Coal cars rambled past my door
Now they're standing in a rusty row, all empty
And the L and N don't stop here anymore
