Luyện nghe bài hát You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive

In the deep dark of Eastern Kentucky
That's the place I traced my bloodline
And there I read on a hillside gravestone
"You'll leave Harlan alive"

Oh my grandfather's Dad the Cumberland Mountains
Where he took a pretty girl to be his
Said, "Won't you with me out of the mouth of this holler
Or we'll never leave alive"

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

No one knew there was coal in them mountains
Till a man from the arrived
Waving hundred dollar bills, said, "I'll pay you for minerals"
But he never Harlan alive

Grandma out cheap and they moved out west of Pike ville
To a where Big Richland River winds
And I bet they danced them a jig and they laughed and sang a new
"Who said never leave Harlan alive"

But the times got hard and tobacco wasn't
And old Granddad knew he'd do to survive
He and dug for Harlan coal and sent the money back to Grandma
But he never Harlan alive

the sun comes up about ten in the mornin'
And the sun goes about three in the day
And you'll fill your cup with whatever brew you're drinkin'
And you spend your life digging coal from the bottom of your

You'll leave Harlan alive
