"Trip to Hyden" - Tom T. Hall
Track 3 of 11 on the album "In Search of a Song" (1971)
[Intro]
C G7 C
[Verse 1]
C G7 C
Tossed and turned the night before in some old motel
G7 C C7
Subconsciously recalling some old sinful thing I'd done
F C
My buddy drove the car and those big coal trucks shook us up
G7 C
As we drove on into Hyden in the early morning sun
[Verse 2]
C G7 C
Past the hound dogs and some dominique-er chickens
G7 C C7
Temporary-looking houses with their lean and bashful kids
F C
Every hundred yards, a sign proclaimed that Christ was coming soon
G7 C
And I thought, "Well, man, He'd sure be disappointed if He did."
[Verse 3]
C G7 C
On the way, we talked about the 40 miners
G7 C C7
Of the 39 who died and one who lived to tell the tale
F C
We stopped for beans and cornbread at the Ed & Lois Café
G7 C
Then went to see the sheriff at the Leslie County Jail
[Verse 4]
C G7 C
They took us to the scene of that disaster
G7 C C7
I was so surprised to not find any sign of death at all
F C
Just another country hillside with some mudholes and some junk
G7 C
The mines were deadly silent like a rathole in the wall
[Verse 5]
C G7 C
"It was just like being right inside of a shotgun."
G7 C C7
The old man coughed and lit a cigarette that he had rolled
F C
Back in town, I bought a heavy jacket from a store
G7 C
It was sunny down in Hyden but somehow, the town was cold
[Verse 6]
C G7 C
The old man introduced the undertaker
G7 C C7
Who seemed refreshed despite the kind of work I knew he did
F C
We talked about the pretty lady from the Grand Ole Opry
G7 C
And we talked about the money she was raising for the kids
[Verse 7]
C G7 C
Well, I guess the old man thought we were reporters
G7 C C7
He kept reminding me of how his simple name was spelled
F C
Some lady said, "They worth more money now than when they's a-living."
G7 C
And I'll leave it there 'cause I suppose she told it pretty well
