The L&N Don't Stop Here Anymore |
When I was a curly headed baby |
My daddy sat me down on his knee |
He said, «son, go to school and get your letters, |
Don’t you be a dusty coal miner, boy, like me.» |
I was born and raised at the mouth of hazard hollow |
The coal cars rolled and rumbled past my door |
But now they stand in a rusty row all empty |
Because the l & n don’t stop here anymore |
I used to think my daddy was a black man |
With script enough to buy the company store |
But now he goes to town with empty pockets |
And his face is white as a February snow |
I never thought I’d learn to love the coal dust |
I never thought I’d pray to hear that whistle roar |
Oh, god, I wish the grass would turn to money |
And those green backs would fill my pockets once more |
Last night I dreamed I went down to the office |
To get my pay like a had done before |
But them ol' kudzu vines were coverin' the door |
And there were leaves and grass growin' right up through the floor |
