The L And N Don't Stop Here Anymore by Kathy Mattea
The L And N Don't Stop Here Anymore
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: D
C D
When I was a curly headed baby
C D
My Daddy set me down on his knee
C D
He said, "Son go to school and get your letters
Am D
Don't you be a dirty coal miner like me"
CHORUS:
C D
I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow
C D
The coal cars rumbled past my door
C D
Now they stand in a rusty row all empty
Am D
'Cause the L & N --- don't stop here anymore
C D
Well, I used to think my daddy was a black man
C D
With script enough to buy the company store
C D
Now he goes to town with empty pockets
Am D
And his face is white as a February snow
CHORUS:
C D
I was born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard Hollow
C D
The coal cars rumbled past my door
C D
Now they stand in a rusty row all empty
Am D
'Cause the L & N --- don't stop here anymore
INSTRUMENTAL: D C D C D C D Am D
C D
Well, I never thought I'd learn to love the coal dust
C D
Never thought I'd pray to hear that whistle roar
C D
Lord god, I wish the grass would turn to money
Am D
And those greenbacks fill my pockets up once more
CHORUS:
C D
Yeah, I was born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard Hollow
C D
The coal cars roared and rumbled past my door
C D
Now they stand in a rusty row all empty
Am D
'Cause the L & N --- don't stop here anymore
C D
Last night I dreamed I went down to the coal yard
C D
To draw my pay like I had done before
C D
Them Kudzu vines were covering all the windows
Am D
There were leaves and grass growing right up through the floor
CHORUS:
C D
I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow
C D
The coal cars roared and rumbled past my door
C D
Now they stand in a rusty row all empty
Am N.C. D
'Cause the L & N --- don't stop here anymore
OUTRO: D C D C D C D Am D
