Lyrics: L And N Don't Stop Here Anymore

When I was the curly headed baby
My daddy sat me down upon his knees
He said boy you go to school learn you letters
Don't you be a dirty miner like me

I was born and raised in the mount of the Hazard Hollow
Coal cars ramble pass my door
Now they're standin' in rusty row all empty
And the L and N don't stop here anymore

I used to think my daddy was a black man
With scrip enough to buy the company store
Now he goes downtown with empty pockets
And his face is white as February snow

I was born and raised in the mount of the Hazard Hollow
Coal cars ramble pass my door
Now they're standin' in 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 ol' cuts of vine were coming through the windows
And leaves and grass are growin' through the floor

I was born and raised in the mount of the Hazard Hollow
Coal cars ramble pass my door
Now they're standin' in rusty row all empty
And the L and N don't stop here anymore
