Darrell Scott - You'll never leave Harlan alive
In the deep, dark hills of eastern Kentucky
That's the place where I trace my bloodline
And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone
"You will never leave Harlan alive"
Well my grandad's dad walked down Katahrin's Mountain
And he asked Tillie Helton to be his bride
He 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 morning
And the sun goes down about three in the day
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinking
And you spend your life just thinking how to get away
No one ever knew there was coal in them mountains
'Till a man from the northeast arrived
Waving hundred dollar bills, he said "I'll pay you for your minerals"
But he never left Harlan alive
Well Granny, she sold out cheap and they moved out west of Pineville
To a farm where Big Richland River winds
And I'll bet they danced them a jig, and they laughed and sang a new song
"Who said we'd never leave Harlan alive?"
But the times, they got hard and tobacco wasn't selling
And old Granddad knew what he'd do to survive
Well he went and dug for Harlan coal and sent the money back to Granny
But he never left Harlan alive
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
And the sun goes down about three in the day
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinking
And you spend your life just thinking how to get away
And the sun comes up about ten in the morning
And the sun goes down about three in the day
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinking
Spend your life diggin' coal from the bottom of your grave
In the deep, dark hills of eastern Kentucky
That's the place where I trace my bloodline
And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone
"You will never leave Harlan alive"...

영화 주제가로 쓰인 곡 입니다.컨트리와 포크를 넘나드는 곡인데
누가,누가 부르나 식으로 여성 아티스트와 남성 가수들이 줄지어
앨범을 발표하는 곡이기도 합니다.
영화내용이야 `권선징악` 을 표현한 흔한 영화입니다.
미국 사람들은 총을 집안에 몇정씩 소유하죠,우리 나라와는 문화
자체가 달라서 그런지 이들은 위협을 느끼면 어디서 가져오는지
총을 들고 방어에 나섭니다. 영화도 대부분 액션영화는 총이 기본이고
사람 을 해치는 영화도 한동안 정의 라는 이름으로 방영되구요.
그만하고 노래 듣죠.
