《Lawrence Jones》歌词

[00:00:01] Lawrence Jones - Kathy Mattea

[00:00:11] Well the night is thick as silence

[00:00:13] You can't cut it with a knife

[00:00:17] A man lies in the hospital

[00:00:21] Drainin' out his life

[00:00:25] Trucks are on the back road

[00:00:28] In the dark their headlights shine

[00:00:31] 'cause there's one man dead

[00:00:34] On that harlan County line

[00:00:38] Oh anger like poison

[00:00:41] Is eatin' at your soul

[00:00:44] Your thoughts are loud as gunfire

[00:00:48] Your face is hard as coal

[00:00:52] Bitterness like buckshot

[00:00:55] Explodes inside your mind

[00:00:59] And there's one man dead

[00:01:01] On that harlan County line

[00:01:12] Oh a miner's life is fragile

[00:01:14] It can shatter just like ice

[00:01:18] But those who bear the struggle

[00:01:22] Have always paid the price

[00:01:26] There's blood upon the contract

[00:01:28] Like vinegar in wine

[00:01:32] And there's one man dead

[00:01:35] On that harlan County line

[00:01:45] From the river bridge at highsplint

[00:01:48] To the brookside railroad track

[00:01:52] You can feel a long strength building

[00:01:56] That can never be turned back

[00:02:00] The dead go forward with us

[00:02:03] Not one is left behind

[00:02:06] 'cause there's one man dead

[00:02:09] On that harlan County line

[00:02:13] Well the night is cold as iron

[00:02:16] You can feel it in your bones

[00:02:20] It settles like a shroud upon

[00:02:24] The grave of Lawrence Jones

[00:02:28] Graveyard shift is walkin'

[00:02:30] From the bathhouse into the mine

[00:02:34] And there's one man dead

[00:02:37] On that harlan County line

[00:02:41] One man dead

[00:02:43] On that harlan County line

[00:02:48] One miner dead on that harlan County line
