lirik lagu hugh x. lewis - bloody harlan
i was born and raised
way back in the hills
plenty of mines
and moonshine stills
cut my t~~th
on a block of coal
makin’ shine
when i was eight years old
down in harlan
bl~~dy harlan
i was a full grown man
when i was twelve years old
i got me a job
minin’ coal
for ten long years
through muck and mud
spittin’ up dust
and a~sweatin’ blood
down in harlan
bl~~dy harlan
i saved my money
that i dug from the ground
i married a gal
from harlan town
i brought her a home
and clothes so fine
she wanted me
to quit the mine
and leave ol’ harlan
bl~~dy harlan
well i earned my living
by the sweat of my brow
too long in the mines
i can’t quit now
to that old black diamond
i’d lost my soul
the coal is in my blood
and my blood is in the coal
down in harlan
bl~~dy harlan
from dawn till dusk
is a miner’s life
my darling grew tired
of being a coal hog’s wife
this kind of life
didn’t suit her plan
so she ran off
with another man
she had to leave ol’ harlan
bl~~dy harlan
when i came home
from the mines that day
i learned the news
and right away
i caught them
as they were leavin’ town
in hate and rage
i shot them down
in the streets of harlan
bl~~dy harlan
for thirty~three years now
i’ve been in this jail
all hope is gone
my body is frail
i can’t last long
so when i die
carry me back
and let my body lie
in the mines of harlan
bl~~dy harlan
when the devil comes
to claim my soul
he’ll give me a job
shovelin’ coal
this must have been
my destiny
i’ll be there
through eternity
in the mines of harlan
bl~~dy harlan
