Deep Dark Hollow Road

Loretta, you know I love you so
 But your daddy said I'd best not come around
 But meet me here again tonight
 We'll leave behind this deep dark hollow road
 Loretta, let's leave this minin' town
 Can't stand the thoughts of darkness underground
 Coal dust ashes everywhere
 We need clean, free honeysuckle mountain air
 Deep dark hollow, where the sun's afraid to shine
 Your daddy owns this hollow, from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the deep dark mine
 Where the mud runs deep along the road
 After haulin' off Kentucky, load by load

 Lorette, let's hit the road tonight
 Bring along your pretty sherwood shoes and your Sunday clothes
 Make sure your daddy doesn't know
 When we leave behind this deep dark hollow road
 Deep dark hollow, where the sun's afraid to shine
 Your daddy owns this hollow, from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the deep dark mine
 Where the mud runs deep along the road
 After haulin' off Kentucky, load by load

 Where the mud runs deep along the road
 And haulin' off Kentucky, load by load
