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 it's I read on a hillside gravestone
"You'll never Harlan alive"

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

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

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

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 and sang a new song
"Who said we'd leave Harlan alive"

But the times got hard and tobacco selling
And old Granddad knew what he'd do to
He went and dug for Harlan and sent the money back to Grandma
But he left Harlan alive

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

You'll never Harlan alive
