Em           D            Em
When I was a curly headed baby

                D             Em
My daddy sat me down upon his knee

                      D                    Em
He said boy you go to school 'n learn your letters

          B7                    Em
Don't you be a dirty miner like me
[Chorus]
      D                                          Em
I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow

D                         Em
Coal cars rambled past my door

                        D              Em
Now their standin' in a rusty rows all empty

        Bm     D                  Em
And the L & N; don't stop here anymore
[Break] | G F#| F Em | Em | [Verse 2]
                D              Em
I used to think my daddy was a black man

                      D               Em
With script enough to buy the company store

                D               Em
Now he goes downtown with empty pockets.

        Bm                 D        Em
And his face is white as a February snow
[Chorus]
      D                                          Em
I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow

D                         Em
Coal cars rambled past my door

                        D              Em
Now their standin' in a rusty rows all empty

        Bm     D                  Em
And the L & N; don't stop here anymore

     Em                D                Em
Last night I dreamed I went down to the coal yard

               D                   Em
To draw my pay like I always did before

                              D                  Em
But them ol' kudzu vines were comin' through the windows

    Bm               D                        Em
And leaves and grass were growing through the floor
[Chorus]
      D                                          Em
I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow

D                         Em
Coal cars rambled past my door

                        D              Em
Now their standin' in a rusty rows all empty

        Bm     D                  Em
And the L & N; don't stop here anymore
