Artist: Johnny Cash Album: Silver (1979) Title: L And N Don't Stop Here Anymore
Lyrics L And N Don't Stop Here AnymoreWhen I was the curly headed baby
My daddy sat me down upon his knees
He said boy you go to school learn you letters
Don't you be a dirty miner like me
I was born and raised in the mount of the Hazard Hollow
Coal cars ramble pass my door
Now they're standin' in rusty row all empty
And the L and N don't stop here anymore
I used to think my daddy was a black man
With scrip enough to buy the company store
Now he goes downtown with empty pockets
And his face is white as February snow
I was born and raised in the mount of the Hazard Hollow
Coal cars ramble pass my door
Now they're standin' in rusty row all empty
And the L and 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' cuts of vine were coming through the windows
And leaves and grass are growin' through the floor
I was born and raised in the mount of the Hazard Hollow
Coal cars ramble pass my door
Now they're standin' in rusty row all empty
And the L and N don't stop here anymore |
