Verse 1
(A minor) (G major) (A minor) Oh when I (E minor) was
a curly- headed (A minor) baby
My daddy sat me (E minor) down upon his (A minor) knee
Said "Son, you go to school (E minor)
and learn your (A minor) letters
Don't (E minor) be no dusty miner like me." (A minor)
Verse 2
I was born (G major) and raised in the mouth
of Hazard hol (A minor) low
(G major) Coal cars roaring and
rumbling past my (A minor) door
Now they're standing rusty rolling empty
And the (E minor) L&N don't stop here anymore (A minor)

Verse 3
(A minor)
I used to think my (E minor) daddy was a black (A minor) man
With script enough to (E minor) buy
the company store (A minor)
But now he goes down (E minor) town
with empty pockets (A minor)
And his (E minor) face is white as February snow (A minor)
Verse 4
I was (G major) born and raised at the mouth
of the Hazard hol (A minor) low
The (G major) coal cars roared and
rumbled past my (A minor) door
But now they're standing
rusty rolling empty
And the (E minor) L&N don't
stop here anymore (A minor)
Verse 5
(A minor)
Last night I dreamt I (E minor) went down to the (A minor) office
To get my payday (E minor) like I've
done be (A minor) fore
Them old kudzu vines had
covered (E minor) up the doorway (A minor)
And there were trees (E minor) and grass,
Well they're growing right
through the floor (A minor)
(G major) (A minor)
Verse 6
I never thought I'd (E minor) live to love the coal (A minor) dust
I never thought I'd pray to
(E minor) hear that whistle (A minor) roar
But Lord, how I wish the grass (E minor)
could change to (A minor) money
And the green backs (E minor) fill
my pockets once more (A minor)
Verse 7
I was (G major) born and raised at the mouth
of the Hazard hol (A minor) low
The (G major) coal cars rolled and
rumbling past my (A minor) door
But now they standing rusty rolling empty
And the (E minor) L&N don't stop here any (A minor) more
