You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive - Patty Loveless[00:00:00]

In the deep dark hills of eastern Kentucky[00:00:16]

That's the place where I trace my bloodline[00:00:26]

And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone[00:00:34]

You will never leave Harlan alive[00:00:43]

Oh my granddad's dad walked down[00:00:55]

Katahrins Mountain[00:01:00]

And he asked Tillie Helton to be his bride[00:01:03]

Said won't you walk with me out of the mouth[00:01:10]

Of this holler[00:01:16]

Or we'll never leave Harlan alive[00:01:18]

Where the sun comes up[00:01:25]

About ten in the morning[00:01:29]

And the sun goes down[00:01:32]

About three in the day[00:01:36]

And you fill your cup with whatever[00:01:39]

Bitter brew you're drinking[00:01:44]

And you spend your life just[00:01:46]

Thinkin' of how to get away[00:01:49]

No one ever knew there was[00:01:55]

Coal in them mountains[00:02:00]

'Til a man from the Northeast arrived[00:02:03]

Waving hundred dollar bills he[00:02:10]

Said I'll pay ya for your minerals[00:02:14]

But he never left Harlan alive[00:02:18]

Granny sold out cheap and[00:02:29]

They moved out west[00:02:32]

Of Pineville[00:02:34]

To a farm where big Richland[00:02:36]

River winds[00:02:38]

I bet they danced them a jig[00:02:42]

Laughed and sang a new song[00:02:46]

Who said we'd never leave Harlan alive[00:02:49]

But the times got hard and[00:03:25]

Tobacco wasn't selling[00:03:29]

And ole granddad knew[00:03:33]

What he'd do to survive[00:03:35]

He went and dug for Harlan coal[00:03:39]

And sent the money back to granny[00:03:43]

But he never left Harlan alive[00:03:47]

Where the sun comes up[00:03:55]

About ten in the morning[00:03:59]

And the sun goes down[00:04:03]

About three in the day[00:04:07]

And you fill your cup with[00:04:11]

Whatever bitter brew you're drinking[00:04:15]

And you spend your life just[00:04:18]

You will never leave Harlan alive[00:04:23]
