Lawrence Jones - Kathy Mattea[00:00:01]

Well the night is thick as silence[00:00:11]

You can't cut it with a knife[00:00:13]

A man lies in the hospital[00:00:17]

Drainin' out his life[00:00:21]

Trucks are on the back road[00:00:25]

In the dark their headlights shine[00:00:28]

'cause there's one man dead[00:00:31]

On that harlan County line[00:00:34]

Oh anger like poison[00:00:38]

Is eatin' at your soul[00:00:41]

Your thoughts are loud as gunfire[00:00:44]

Your face is hard as coal[00:00:48]

Bitterness like buckshot[00:00:52]

Explodes inside your mind[00:00:55]

And there's one man dead[00:00:59]

On that harlan County line[00:01:01]

Oh a miner's life is fragile[00:01:12]

It can shatter just like ice[00:01:14]

But those who bear the struggle[00:01:18]

Have always paid the price[00:01:22]

There's blood upon the contract[00:01:26]

Like vinegar in wine[00:01:28]

And there's one man dead[00:01:32]

On that harlan County line[00:01:35]

From the river bridge at highsplint[00:01:45]

To the brookside railroad track[00:01:48]

You can feel a long strength building[00:01:52]

That can never be turned back[00:01:56]

The dead go forward with us[00:02:00]

Not one is left behind[00:02:03]

'cause there's one man dead[00:02:06]

On that harlan County line[00:02:09]

Well the night is cold as iron[00:02:13]

You can feel it in your bones[00:02:16]

It settles like a shroud upon[00:02:20]

The grave of Lawrence Jones[00:02:24]

Graveyard shift is walkin'[00:02:28]

From the bathhouse into the mine[00:02:30]

And there's one man dead[00:02:34]

On that harlan County line[00:02:37]

One man dead[00:02:41]

On that harlan County line[00:02:43]

One miner dead on that harlan County line[00:02:48]
