The L&N Don't Stop Here Anymore 歌词

When I was a curly headed baby My daddy sat me down upon his knee he said "Boy, you go to school and learn your letters Don't you be a dirty miner like me" I was born and raised in the mouth of the hazard Hollow coal cars rambled past my door now They're standin' in a rusty row all 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 Now he goes downtown with empty pockets And his face is white as a february snow I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard hollow coal cars rambled past my door Now they're standin' in a rusty row all empty And the l & n don't stop here anymore Last night I dreamed I went down To the coal yard to draw my pay like I always did before but them ol' kudzu vines Were comin' through the window and the leaves And grass were growin' through the floor I was born and raised in the mouth Of the hazard hollow coal cars rambled Past my door now they're standin' in a rusty row All empty and the l & n don't stop here anymore
