Luyện nghe bài hát Kentucky Coal Miner's Prayer

Deep in the of Harlan County
Employed by the coal company
The pay is short, the days are
But our labor union laws are on strong
So I drink whiskey for my throat

my hard hat and weathered coat
Early every morning I in line
Waiting to work Kentucky coal mines

We enter the shaft around thirty
With two dozen hands, cold, callused and
We'll dig through a million tons of and clay
And we'll be digging at the end of the day
Down on our knees we confess our
And pray the roof above don't cave in

So bless our and save or souls
And the air we down in the devil's hole
Just last week when the the fell
The trapped us in the depths of hell

The of the earth took poor Tucker's life
Leaving behind a hungry and wife
We dug out our shovels and picks
But soon enough the black lung disease will us sick

So bless our hearts and save or
And the air we breathe down in the devil's
I work deep in the of eastern Kentucky

I know if I leave Harlan alive be more than lucky
Wish I go to Texas and plant some cottonseed
But takes money and I've got three mouths to feed
So I this whiskey for my throat
Wear my hat and weathered coat
Early every I stand in line
Waiting to work another Kentucky mine
