Trip To Hyden
Written and recorded by Tom T. Hall


C G7 C
Tossed and turned the night before in some old motel
G7 C
Subconsciously recalling some old sinful things I 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

G7 C
Passed the hound dogs and some Dominique chickens
G7 C
Temporary looking houses with their lean and bashful kids
F C
Every hundred yards a sign proclaimed the Christ was coming soon
G7 C
And I thought oh man he'd sure be disappointed if he did

G7 C
On the way we talked about the forty miners
G7 C
Of the thirty nine who died and one who lived to tell the tale
F C
We stopped for beans and corn bread at the Ed 'n' Lois Cafe
G7 C
Then we went to see the sheriff at the Leslie County jail

G7 C
They took us to the scene of that disaster
G7 C
I was so surprised to not find any sign of death at all
F C
Just another country hillside with some mud holes and some junk
G7 C
The mines were deadly silent like a rat hole in the wall

G7 C
It was just like being right inside of a shotgun
G7 C
The old man coughed and lit a cigarette that he had rolled
F C
Back in town I bought a heavy jacket from the store
G7 C
It was sunny down in Hyden but somehow the town was cold

G7 C
The old man introduced the undertaker
G7 C
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
We talked about the money she was raising for the kids

G7 C
Well I guess the old man thought we were reporters
G7 C
He kept reminding me of how his simple name was spelled
F C
Some lady said they’re worth more money now than when they was a living
G7 C
And I'll leave it there cause I suppose she told it pretty well
