The L and N Don't Stop Here Anymore - Remastered

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."
 I was born and raised in the mouth of Hazard hollow
 Coal cars roaring and rumbling past my door
 Now they're standing rusty rolling empty
 And 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 down town with empty pockets
 And his face is white as February snow
 I was born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard hollow
 The coal cars roared and rumbled past my door
 But now they're standing rusty rolling empty
 And the L&N don't stop here anymore
 Last night I dreamt I went down to the office
 To get my payday like I've done before
 Them old kudzu vines had covered up the doorway
 And there were trees and grass,
 Well they're growing right through the floor
 I never thought I'd live to love the coal dust
 I never thought I'd pray to hear that whistle roar
 But Lord, how I wish the grass could change to money
 And the green backs fill my pockets once more
 I was born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard hollow
 The coal cars rolled and rumbling past my door
 But now they standing rusty rolling empty
 And the L&N don't stop here anymore
