Luyện nghe bài hát You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive

In the deep dark hills of eastern
the place where I trace my bloodline
And it's I read on a hillside gravestone
'You never leave Harlan alive'

When my granddad's dad down Catron's Mountain
And he asked Tillie Helton to be his
He said, you walk with me out of the mouth of this holler?
Or we'll never Harlan alive

Where the sun up about ten in the morning
And the sun down about three in the day
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter you're drinkin'
And you spend your life just thinkin' of how to get

Well no one ever knew there was coal in mountains
a man from the Northeast arrived
Waving hundred dollar
He said, I'll pay you for your
But he never left Harlan

Well granny, she sold out and they moved out west of Pineville
To a where big Richland River winds
I bet they danced them a jig and laughed and a new song
Who said we'd never Harlan alive?

But the times, they got hard and wasn't selling
And ole granddad what he'd do to survive
He went and dug for coal
the money back to granny but he never left Harlan alive

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

Where the sun comes up ten in the morning
And the sun goes down about in the day
And you fill your cup with whatever brew you're drinking
And you your life digging coal from the bottom of your grave

In the deep dark hills of eastern
the place where I trace my bloodline
And there I read on a hillside gravestone
never leave Harlan alive'
