Luyện nghe bài hát You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive

In the deep dark hills of Kentucky
the place where I traced my bloodline
And there I read on a hillside gravestone
"You'll never Harlan alive"

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

Where the sun comes up about ten in the
And the sun down about three in the day
And you'll fill your cup with whatever bitter you're drinkin'
And you spend life just thinkin' 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 left Harlan alive

Grandma out cheap and they moved out west of Pike ville
To a farm where Big Richland River
And I bet they danced them a jig and they laughed and a new song
"Who said we'd never Harlan alive"

But the times got hard and tobacco wasn't
And old Granddad knew what he'd do to
He and dug for Harlan coal and sent the money back to Grandma
But he left Harlan alive

Where the sun up about 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 your life digging coal from the bottom of your grave

You'll never leave alive
