Lawrence Jones |
WELL THE NIGHT IS THICK AS SILENCE |
YOU CAN’T CUT IT WITH A KNIFE |
A MAN LIES IN THE HOSPITAL |
DRAININ' OUT HIS LIFE |
THE TRUCKS ARE ON THE BACK ROAD |
IN THE DARK THEIR HEADLIGHTS SHINE |
'CAUSE THERE’S ONE MAN DEAD |
ON THAT HARLAN COUNTY LINE |
OH ANGER, LIKE POISON |
IS EATIN' AT YOUR SOUL |
YOUR THOUGHTS ARE LOUD AS GUNFIRE |
YOUR FACE IS HARD AS COAL |
BITTERNESS LIKE BUCKSHOT |
EXPLODES INSIDE YOUR MIND |
AND THERE’S ONE MAN DEAD |
ON THAT HARLAN COUNTY LINE |
OH A MINER’S LIFE IS FRAGILE |
IT CAN SHATTER JUST LIKE ICE |
BUT THOSE WHO BEAR THE STRUGGLE |
HAVE ALWAYS PAID THE PRICE |
THERE’S BLOOD UPON THE CONTRACT |
LIKE VINEGAR IN WINE |
AND THERE’S ONE MAN DEAD |
ON THAT HARLAN COUNTY LINE |
FROM THE RIVER BRIDGE AT HIGHSPLINT |
TO THE BROOKSIDE RAILROAD TRACK |
YOU CAN FEEL A LONG STRENGTH BUILDING |
THAT CAN NEVER BE TURNED BACK |
THE DEAD GO FORWARD WITH US |
NOT ONE IS LEFT BEHIND |
'CAUSE THERE’S ONE MAN DEAD |
ON THAT HARLAN COUNTY LINE |
WELL THE NIGHT IS COLD AS IRON |
YOU CAN FEEL IT IN YOUR BONES |
IT SETTLES LIKE A SHROUD UPON |
THE GRAVE OF LAWRENCE JONES |
THE GRAVEYARD SHIFT IS WALKIN' |
FROM THE BATHHOUSE INTO THE MINE |
AND THERE’S ONE MAN DEAD |
ON THAT HARLAN COUNTY LINE |
ONE MAN DEAD |
ON THAT HARLAN COUNTY LINE |
ONE MINER DEAD ON THAT HARLAN COUNTY LINE |
