You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive - Darrell Scott[00:00:00]

Written by：Darrell Scott[00:00:01]

In the deep dark hills[00:00:03]

Of eastern kentucky[00:00:07]

That's the place where[00:00:12]

I trace my bloodline[00:00:14]

And it's there I read[00:00:19]

On a hillside gravestone[00:00:23]

You will never leave harlan alive[00:00:28]

Well my grandad's dad walked down[00:00:39]

Katahrin's mountain[00:00:43]

And he asked tillie helton[00:00:46]

To be his bride[00:00:48]

He said won't you walk with[00:00:52]

Me out of the mouth of this holler[00:00:54]

Or we'll never leave harlan alive[00:00:59]

Where the sun comes up about[00:01:05]

Ten in the morning[00:01:09]

And the sun goes down[00:01:11]

About three in the day[00:01:16]

And you fill your cup with[00:01:18]

Whatever bitter brew your drinking[00:01:21]

And you spend your life just[00:01:25]

Thinking how to get away[00:01:28]

No one ever knew there was[00:01:33]

Coal in them mountains[00:01:37]

Til a man from the northeast arrived[00:01:40]

Waving hundred dollar bills[00:01:46]

He said I'll pay you for your minerals[00:01:49]

But he never left harlan alive[00:01:53]

Well granny she sold out cheap[00:02:06]

Moved out west to pineville[00:02:09]

To a farm where big richland river winds[00:02:12]

And I'll bet they danced them a jig[00:02:18]

And they laughed and sang a new song[00:02:21]

Who said we'd never leave harlan alive[00:02:24]

But the times they got hard[00:03:03]

And tobacco wasn't selling[00:03:06]

And old granddad knew what[00:03:09]

He'd do to survive[00:03:11]

He went and dug for harlan coal[00:03:15]

And sent the money back to granny[00:03:18]

But he never left harlan alive[00:03:22]

Where the sun comes up about[00:03:28]

Ten in the morning[00:03:33]

And the sun goes down[00:03:35]

About three in the day[00:03:39]

And you fill your cup with[00:03:42]

Whatever bitter brew your drinking[00:03:46]

And you spend your life just[00:03:49]

Thinking how to get away[00:03:53]

Where the sun comes up about[00:03:56]

Ten in the morning[00:04:00]

And the sun goes down[00:04:02]

About three in the day[00:04:06]

And you fill your cup with[00:04:09]

Whatever bitter brew your drinking[00:04:12]

And you spend your life[00:04:15]

Even go from the butter of your rain[00:04:18]

In the deep dark hills[00:04:25]

Of eastern kentucky[00:04:29]

That's the place where[00:04:33]

I trace my bloodline[00:04:35]

And it's there I read[00:04:42]

On a hillside gravestone[00:04:45]

You will never leave harlan alive[00:04:50]
