[Intro]
Em G D C G D Em
(No chords)
In the deep dark hills of Eastern Kentucky
Thats the place where I traced my bloodline
And its Emthere I Gread on a hiDllside graCvestone
You'll nGever leave HaDrlen aEmlive
Oh my Grandfathers GDad crossed the CumbDerland MouCntains
Where Emhe took a prGetty girl to be his bCride
Said "Won't you Emwalk with Gme out of the Dmouth of this hColler
Or wEme'll never leave HaDrlen aEmlive"
Where the sun comes Gup about tCen in the morGnin
And the sun goes dEmown about tFhree in the Cday
And you fill your cGup with whatever Cbitter brew you're dEmrinkin
And you spend your life just thinkin of hDow to get awEmay
No Emone ever kGnew there was cDoal in them moCuntains
TEmill a man from the noGrtheast arCrived
Wavin hEmundred dollar bGills
Said "I'll pDay for your mCinerals"
ButEm he never left HDarlen aEmlive
GrEmandma sold out cGheap and they mDoved out west of PiCneville
To a Emfarm where Big RiGchland River wCinds
And I bet they daEmnced them a Gjig
And they laughed and sDang a new sCong
"Who said Emwe'd never leave HDarlen aEmlive"
But tEmhe times got hGard and toDbacco wasn't seCllin
And olEmd Granddad knew what hGe'd do to sCurvive
HeEm went and dug for HGarlan coal
And sent the mDoney back to GCrandma
But he nEmever left HDarlen alEmive
Where Gthe sun coCmes up about Gten in the mornin
And the sun goes dEmown about tFhree in the Cday
And you fill your cGup with whatever Cbitter brew you're dEmrinkin
And you spend your life diggin coal from the bDottom of your gEmrave
Mmmmmmmm You'll never leave HaDrlen alEmive
