[Verse]
[G] When I was a [F]curly headed[G] baby,
my daddy sat me d[F]own upon his k[G]nee.
He said, "Boy, you go to s[F]chool and learn your l[G]etters,
don't you [D]be a dirty miner like [G]me."
[Chorus]
I was b[F]orn and raised in the mouth of the Hazard H[G]ollow,
co[F]al cars rambled past my d[G]oor,
Now they're standing in an r[F]usty row all e[G]mpty,
and the [D]L & N don't stop he[G]re anymore.
[Verse 2]
Well, I used to think my [F]daddy was a [G]black man,
with script enough to [F]buy the company s[G]tore.
Now he goes d[F]owntown with his pockets e[G]mpty,
and his [D]face is white as the February s[G]now.
[Chorus]
I was b[F]orn and raised in the mouth of the Hazard H[G]ollow,
co[F]al cars rambled past my [G]door,
Now they're standing in an r[F]usty row all e[G]mpty,
and the [D]L & N don't stop he[G]re anymore.

[Verse 3]
Last n[G]ight I dreamed I w[F]ent down to the coal y[G]ard
to draw my pay just l[F]ike I'd done b[G]efore.
Them ol' kudzu vines were c[F]oming through the w[G]indow,
and the weeds and grass were g[D]rowing through the f[G]loor.
[Chorus]
I was b[F]orn and raised in the mouth of the Hazard [G]Hollow,
co[F]al cars rambled past my d[G]oor,
Now they're standing in a r[F]usty row all e[G]mpty,
and the [D]L & N don't stop he[G]re anymore.
And the [D]L & N don't stop he[G]re anymore.
