Trip To Hyden - Tom T. Hall[00:00:00]

Tossed and turned the night[00:00:06]

Before in some old motel[00:00:08]

Subconsciously recallin'[00:00:12]

Some old sinful thing I'd done[00:00:14]

My buddy drove the car[00:00:18]

And those big coal trucks shook us up[00:00:20]

As we drove on into Hyden[00:00:23]

In the early morning sun[00:00:25]

Past the hound dogs[00:00:29]

And some domineckered chickens[00:00:31]

Temporary-lookin' houses[00:00:34]

With their lean and bashful kids[00:00:37]

Every hundred yards a sign proclaimed[00:00:41]

That Christ was coming soon[00:00:44]

And I thought, "Well, man,[00:00:46]

He'd sure be disappointed if he did."[00:00:47]

On the way we talked about the 40 miners[00:00:52]

Of the 39 who died and one who lived[00:00:57]

To tell the tale[00:01:01]

We stopped for beans and cornbread[00:01:04]

At the Ed & Lois Cafe[00:01:06]

Then went to see the sherrif[00:01:09]

At the Leslie County Jail[00:01:11]

They took us to the scene[00:01:16]

Of that disaster[00:01:18]

I was so surprised to not find any sign[00:01:20]

Of death at all[00:01:24]

Just another country hillside[00:01:27]

With some mudholes and some junk[00:01:29]

The mines were deadly silent[00:01:33]

Like a rathole in the wall[00:01:34]

"It was just like being right[00:01:39]

Inside of a shotgun."[00:01:41]

The old man coughed[00:01:44]

And lit a cigarette that he had rolled[00:01:45]

Back in town I bought a heavy jacket[00:01:51]

From a store[00:01:53]

It was sunny down in Hyden[00:01:55]

But somehow the town was cold[00:01:58]

The old man introduced the undertaker[00:02:02]

Who seemed refreshed despite the kind[00:02:05]

Of work I knew he did[00:02:10]

We talked about the pretty lady[00:02:14]

From the Grand Ole Opry[00:02:16]

An' we talked about the money[00:02:19]

She was raisin' for the kids[00:02:21]

Well, I guess the old man[00:02:25]

Thought we were reporters[00:02:27]

He kept reminding me of[00:02:30]

How his simple name was spelled[00:02:33]

Some lady said, "They worth more money now[00:02:37]

Than when they's a-livin'. "[00:02:40]

And I'll leave it there[00:02:42]

'Cause I suppose she told it pretty well[00:02:43]
