A Miner

She said she'd find herself a miner
And he treats her well
And he makes good money
So you can burn in hell
I got the lawyer on the phone
But he ain't saying much of anything
But he wrote it all down in his yellow, legal pad
He ain't helping me out
I can't pay these bills
So what's it going to take to get out?
I got my boss on my back
And he won't quit
No, not for anything
Not for my sick child or my mother in the home
And I ain't got no time in
So I just nod my head
And make my way down to the unemployment line
She said she's leaving with the kids
And I can't blame her much
But it hurts my stomach; it feels like rocks in my guts
She said she'd found herself a miner
And he treats them well
And he makes good money so you can burn in hell
I guess a bullet's what it's gonna take to get out

Behind the Trees

Just like the night
You took the light
And stole away
Behind the trees
Such a little fight
For such a frenzied flight
You stole away
Behind the trees
Behind the trees is where they found you
Behind the trees is where you lay
Behind the trees in the heather
Your hair scattered like some torn bird feathers, Mae
Behind the trees and off into the night
With the morning light
Came such an awful sight
You torn and twisted
Behind the trees
Like a wayward kite
Came the sheriff's lights
And you torn and twisted
Behind the trees
Through his deputy
The sheriff, he told me,
"Hey, boy, you're looking at life."
I said, "Oh, god, man.
You got the wrong man.
I never touched a hair on the head of my wife."
He said, "I guess we'll have to wait and see
Leave it to the people of Harlan County
Let them decided if you're to be free."
I said, "I ain't got the money
For no high-class attorney, buddy
We'll just have to wait and see."

A Ghost in the Folds

William was a man that did some walking
He tramped the land, far and wide
He made his home in Old Widow's Grove
& never gave his love to another
Lay your head down
You can stick around
Or you can go to Old Widow's Grove
& be like William there
William, as a young man,
Never could understand
That you gotta reach out & let others in
Or you'll never find much use in nothing
Now that William's gotten old
He feels the sun's grown cold
He hides himself in the thickest of clothes
But he feels like a ghost in the folds
