《You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive》歌词

[00:00:00] You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive - Red Molly

[00:00:00] Composed by：Darrell Scott

[00:00:01] In the deep dark hills of eastern Kentucky

[00:00:09] That's the place where I trace my bloodline

[00:00:17] And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone

[00:00:24] You will never leave Harlan alive

[00:00:33] Oh my granddad's dad walked down

[00:00:37] Katahrins Mountain

[00:00:40] And he asked Tillie Helton to be his bride

[00:00:45] Said won't you walk with me out of the mouth

[00:00:50] Of this holler

[00:00:52] Or we'll never leave Harlan alive

[00:00:58] Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning

[00:01:05] And the sun goes down about three in the day

[00:01:11] And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinking

[00:01:17] And you spend your life just thinkin' of how to get away

[00:01:26] No one ever knew there was coal in them mountains

[00:01:32] Till a man from the Northeast arrived

[00:01:37] He was waving hundred dollar bills he said

[00:01:41] I'll pay ya for your minerals

[00:01:44] But he never left Harlan alive

[00:01:51] About granny sold out cheap and they moved out west

[00:01:56] Of Pineville

[00:01:57] To a farm where big Richland River winds

[00:02:03] I bet they danced them a jig laughed

[00:02:07] And sang a new song

[00:02:09] Who said we'd never leave Harlan alive

[00:02:41] But the times they got hard and tobacco wasn't selling

[00:02:48] And old granddad knew what he'd do to survive

[00:02:53] Well he went and dug for Harlan coal

[00:02:57] And sent the money back to Granny

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

[00:03:06] Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning

[00:03:12] And the sun goes down about three in the day

[00:03:18] And you fill your cup with whatever

[00:03:23] Bitter brew you're drinking

[00:03:25] And you spend your life just thinking how to get away

[00:03:33] And the sun comes up about ten in the morning

[00:03:39] And the sun goes down

[00:03:41] And the sun goes down about three in the day

[00:03:45] And you fill your cup with whatever

[00:03:50] Bitter brew you're drinking

[00:03:52] And you spend your life

[00:03:54] Diggin' coal from the bottom of your grave
