jean ritchie – the l and n don’t stop here anymore lyrics
[verse 1]
oh, when i was a curly+headed baby
my daddy sat me down upon his knee
said, “son, you go to school and learn your letters
don’t be no dusty miner like me”
[chorus]
i was born and raised at the mouth of the hazard holler
coal cars roarin’ and a+rumblin’ past my door
now they’re standin’ rusty, rollin’ empty
and the l and n don’t stop here anymore
[verse 2]
i used to think my daddy was a black man
with scrip enough to buy the company store
but now he goes downtown with empty pockets
and his face is white as february snow
[chorus]
i was born and raised at the mouth of the hazard holler
coal cars roarin’ and a+rumblin’ past my door
now they’re standin’ rusty, rollin’ empty
and the l and n don’t stop herе anymore
[verse 3]
last night i dreamt i went down to thе office
to get my pay day like i done before
them old kudzu vines had covered up the doorway
and there was trees and grass, well, they’re growing right through the floor
[verse 4]
i never thought i’d live to love the coal dust
never thought i’d pray to hear the tipple roar
but lord, how i wish the grass could change to money
them greenbacks fill my pockets once more
[chorus]
i was born and raised in the mouth of the hazard holler
coal cars roarin’ and a+rumblin’ past my door
now they’re standin’ rusty, rollin’ empty
and the l and n don’t stop here anymore
