Karaoke Track: You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive (Without Background Vocals) by Patty Loveless (Dancing Frog Karaoke) - Karaoke Nerds

Intro
Instrumental
9 Seconds

In the deep dark hills of
eastern Kentucky

That's the place where l trace
my bloodline

And it's there I read on a
hillside gravestone

You'll never leave
Harlan alive

Oh, my grandfather's dad
crossed the
Cumberland Mountains
Where he took a pretty girl
to be his bride

Said, Won't you walk with me
out of the mouth of this holler

or we'll never leave
Harlan alive

Where the sun comes up

about ten in the mornin'

And the sun goes down
about three in the day

And you fill your cup
with whatever bitter brew
you're drinkin' and you spend
your life just thinkin' of
how to get away

No one ever knew there was
coal in them mountains
Till a man from the
northeast arrived

Wavin' hundred dollar bills
said, I'll pay you for your

minerals
But he never left Harlan alive

Grandma sold out cheap
and they moved out west
of Pineville to a farm where
the Big Richland River winds

And I bet they danced them
a jig and they laughed
and sang a new song

Who said we'd never leave

Harlan alive

Instrumental
Break
29 Seconds

But the times they got hard
and tobacco wasn't sellin'
And old granddad knew what
he'd do to survive

He went and dug for
Harlan coal and sent the
money back to grandma

But he never left Harlan alive

Where the sun comes up

about ten in the mornin'

And the sun goes down
about three in the day

And you fill your cup
with whatever bitter brew
you're drinkin' and you spend
your life diggin' coal from the
bottom of your grave

Hmmhmmmmhmm
Hmmhmmhmm
Hmmhmmhmmhmm
Hmmhmmmmhmm
Yoquneverleave

Harlan alive I
