Luyện nghe bài hát You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive

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

Oh my grandfather's Dad the Cumberland Mountains
he took a pretty girl to be his bride
Said, "Won't you walk 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 goes down three in the day
And you'll fill your cup with whatever brew you're drinkin'
And you spend your life just of how to get away

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

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

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

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

You'll never leave alive
