Harlan Man |
| I’m a Harlan Man |
| Went down in the mine when I was barely grown |
| It was easy then |
| ‘Cause I didn’t know what I know now |
| But I’m a family man |
| And it’s the only life that I’ve ever known |
| But I’m a Harlan Man |
| Just as long as my luck and lungs hold out |
| I’m a mountain man |
| Born in east Kentucky and here I’ll stay |
| And if it’s the good Lord’s plan |
| I’ll wake up in the mornin' and find |
| I’m lookin' at the end |
| Of another long week and I can draw my pay |
| ‘Cause I’m a Harlan Man |
| Never catch me whinin' cause I ain’t that kind |
| I’m a union man |
| Just like my daddy and all my kin |
| I took a union stand |
| No matter what the company said |
| I got me two good hands |
| And just as long as I’m able I won’t give in |
| ‘Cause I’m a Harlan Man |
| A coal minin' mother ‘til the day I’m dead |
