Johnny Cash – The L & N Don't Stop Here Anymore Lyrics  Share

From Johnny Cash's album: Cash Unearthed Disc 3

(Jean Ritchie)

When I was a curly headed baby
My daddy sat me down on his knee
He said, "son, go to school and get your letters,
Don^,t you be a dusty coal miner, boy, like me."

[Chorus:]
I was born and raised at the mouth of hazard hollow
The coal cars rolled and rumbled past my door
But now they stand in a rusty row all empty
Because 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 to town with empty pockets
And his face is white as a February snow

[Chorus]

I never thought I^,d learn to love the coal dust
I never thought I^,d pray to hear that whistle roar
Oh, god, I wish the grass would turn to money
And those green backs would fill my pockets once more

[Chorus]

Last night I dreamed I went down to the office
To get my pay like a had done before
But them ol^, kudzu vines were coverin^, the door
And there were leaves and grass growin^, right up through the floor

[Chorus]
