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
