Luyện nghe bài hát Kentucky Feb. 27, '71

There were signs beside the like "Jesus Saves"
And "Relieve yourself the fast and way"
I was lookin' for an old man who lived way back in hills
Who just might have a story I tell

Pretty soon the disappeared
I the car change to a lower gear
I took a drink of liquor just to chase the chill
I was 27 from Olive Hill

Ahead I saw the bridge where I right
A dirt road led up a mountainside
I pulled up to a farmhouse I I had seen before
An old man and his dog at the door

told me this old-timer knew this land
I told him, "Sir, I don't understand
Why the in this state just grow up and move away
And leave the land where were born and raised."

He said, "Son, you can't make it on land
Unless you're workin' with your hands
There no kids today that wanna stay and work it out
They wanna see the things hear about."

He said, "I cleared this whole farm off
And I'd work it now but has got my health."
Then starin' out the restin' in his easy chair
He told me what I'd really come to

"You know, son, people used to their kids
'Now, I want you to have to work the way I did.'
They don't and will tell you that it's a shame
But you have to think you place the blame."

I guess we must talked for half a day
'Til I told him I'd best be on my way
He my hand and said, "I'm glad I met you, Mr. Hall
But I guess there ain't no here after all."
