Luyện nghe bài hát You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive

In the deep dark of Eastern Kentucky
That's the place I trace my bloodline
And it's there I read on a gravestone
"You'll never leave alive"

Oh, my granddads dad crossed the Mountains
Where he took a pretty girl to be his
Said, "Won't you walk with me out of the mouth of holler
Or we'll never leave alive?"

Where the sun comes up ten in the mornin'
The sun down about three in the day
And you'll fill cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinkin'
And you spend your life thinkin' of how to get away

No one ever knew was coal in them mountains
a man from the northeast arrived
He was waving dollar bills, said, "I'll pay you for your minerals"
But he left Harlan alive

Grandma out cheap and they moved out west of Pikeville
To a farm where big Richland river
Oh, I bet they danced them a jig and they laughed and a new song
Who said we'd leave Harlan alive

But the times got hard and wasn't selling
And old granddad knew he'd do to survive
So he went and dug for Harlan coal, sent the money back to
But he never left alive

Where the sun up about ten in the mornin'
The sun goes down three in the day
You fill your cup with bitter brew you're drinkin'
And you your life just thinkin' of how to get away

The sun comes up ten in the mornin'
And the sun goes down about in the day
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter you're drinkin'
And you spend your life diggin from the bottom of your grave
