Lyrics
Sarah moved down to Harlan county Found no work and found no bounty Took her share to feed her kin And kept em clear of medicine What rotten shape they keep us in When mama couldn't live alone Sarah brought her family home With Emma’s baby due in June Four generations, two bedrooms And not one goddamn thing to do Can't this world get its use outta me I'm just like a daisy underneath a canopy With sunlight always out of reach The years had slowed the foundry down So Sarah tended bar in town It was such a fight to pry the doors Gettin’ women workin’ on the floors No they don't make nothin’ anymore Can't this world get its use outta me I'm just like a daisy underneath a canopy With sunlight always out of reach There's not a dream left in my head Except to give more than I take But these walls are painted lead And my spirit's shak(en/in) Mama pa**ed in '93 Tommy got his GED Emma left and married young A man content to raise her son But Sarah had nowhere to run So with nothing left to make her stay Sarah thought she’d move away But as she combed through locks of greying hair The mirror seemed to catch her stare No there's no sense going anywhere Can't this world get its use outta me I'm just like a daisy underneath a canopy With sunlight always out of reach She wondered Can't this world get its use outta me I'm just a like baby left to swing under a tree The sunlight never gets to me
