Deep Dark Hollow Road Songtext
von The Del McCoury Band

Loretta, you know I love you so
But your daddy said I′d best not come around
But meet me here again tonight
We'll leave behind this deep dark hollow road

Loretta, let′s leave this minin' town
Can't stand the thoughts of darkness underground
Coal dust ashes everywhere
We need clean, free honeysuckle mountain air


Deep dark hollow, where the sun′s afraid to shine
Your daddy owns this hollow, from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the deep dark mine
Where the mud runs deep along the road
After haulin′ off Kentucky, load by load

Lorette, let's hit the road tonight
Bring along your pretty sherwood shoes and your Sunday clothes
Make sure your daddy doesn′t know
When we leave behind this deep dark hollow road

Deep dark hollow, where the sun's afraid to shine
Your daddy owns this hollow, from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the deep dark mine
Where the mud runs deep along the road
After haulin′ off Kentucky, load by load

Where the mud runs deep along the road
And haulin' off Kentucky, load by load
