Fighting the good fight across the Harlan County Line People can be Noble, and People can be Cruel They'll make you President or they'll make you a Fool but, She always treated me nice and kind Until that day she left me on my own said there Was trouble she had to handle back home Then she gave me a number and said call any time If I ever made it across the Harlan County Line Now the years disappear out on the highway And I lost her number somewhere along the way So I'll say a little prayer that she's doing fine Another morning, another motel bed, Another city waitin' up ahead And another small memory to leave behind Somewhere across the Harlan County line Across the Harlan County Line
