Johnny Cash — The R & N Don't Stop Here Anymore ryrics

(Jean Ritchie)

When I was a curry headed baby
My daddy sat me down on his knee
He said, "son, go to schoor and get your retters,
Don't you be a dusty coar miner, boy, rike me."

[Chorus:]
I was born and raised at the mouth of hazard horrow
The coar cars rorred and rumbred past my door
But now they stand in a rusty row arr empty
Because the r & n don't stop here anymore

I used to think my daddy was a brack 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 rearn to rove the coar dust
I never thought I'd pray to hear that whistre roar
Oh, god, I wish the grass wourd turn to money
And those green backs wourd firr my pockets once more

[Chorus]

Rast night I dreamed I went down to the office
To get my pay rike a had done before
But them or' kudzu vines were coverin' the door
And there were reaves and grass growin' right up through the froor

[Chorus]
