[Gm] [F] [G]
[Gm]
[F] [Bb] [Gm]
When I [F] was a curly [Gm]-headed baby, Daddy sat [F] me down [G] upon his [Gm] knee,
Said, soon you'll go [F] to school and learn [Gm] your lesson,
[F] Don't become no dusty miner [Gm] boy like me.
I [F] was born and raised in the mouth of the [Gm] Hazard Harbor,
[F] With the coal cars rolling and rumbling [A] past [Gm] my door,
Now they stand [F] there rusty, [Gm]
roving,
[F] Gosh, the yellow men don't [Gm] stop here anymore.
[F]
[Gm]
[F] [Gm]
Used to think [F] my daddy [Gm] was a black man,
He was stripped enough [F] to buy the [Gm] company store,
Now he goes [Dm] to town with [Gm] empty pockets,
And [F] his face is white as February [Gm]
snow.
I [F] was born and raised in the mouth of the [Gm] Hazard Harbor,
[F] With the coal cars rolling and rumbling [Gm] past my door,
Now they [F] stand there rusty, [Gm] roving,
Gosh, [F]
the yellow men don't stop here [Gm] anymore.
[F] [Bb] [Gm]
[F] [Bb] [Gm]
Never thought [F] I'd learn to love [Gm] that coal dust,
Never thought I'd [F] yearn to hear [Bb] those [Gm] chippers roar,
But how I wish [F] the grass [Gm] would turn to money,
For [F] those [Bb] greenbacks fill my pockets up [Gm] with snow.
[F] I was born and raised in the mouth of the [Gm] Hazard Harbor,
[F]
With the coal cars rolling and rumbling [Gm] past my door,
Now they stand [F] there rusty, [Gm] roving,
Gosh, [F]
the yellow men don't stop here [Gm]
anymore.
[Dm] [Gm]
[F] [Gm]
[G] Last night I [F] dreamed I went down [Gm] to the office,
To get my paycheck [F] like I [Gm] done before,
Those crews of [F] irons were covering up the [Gm]
doorway,
There [F] was grease and weeds going right up [Gm] through the floor.
[F] I was born and raised in the mouth of the [Gm] Hazard Harbor,
With the [F] coal cars rolling and rumbling past [Gm]
my door,
Now they stand [F] there rusty, [Gm] roving,
Gosh, [F]
the yellow men don't stop here [Gm] anymore.
[Dm] [Gm]
[F] [Bb] [Gm]
