I stumbled across Justified by accident. Watched all 6 seasons and then went back to the beginning and started again. Some of the best television ever.
@@LeighMichelle That would be great, especially if they can contract the same actors. They all have been great. I really, really like this series, just finished to watch it the second time and I would love to move to KY.
One of my favorite shows ever. I managed to catch it when it was still broadcasting, but I binge it every couple of years as it's usually on one of the big streaming sites. I would love to see it brought back, particularly if it kept many of the main cast. Could be hard, with many of the surviving characters having reasons to be gone. Could bring at least Raylan and Boud back.
I got some family on my dads side in Harlan. Used to go once a year when I was kid but haven’t been back in a decade or two. Funny enough, one of the kids (second cousin or something) joined the Kentucky State Troopers last I heard
Im Scots Irish in London it means a lot to me. My kin went Virginia and fought in Civil War...From Scotlands sons . Good people and the reality of manufacturing being destroyed with the communities . We relate.
@@darkplasmo7921 Elmore wrote one short story about a US Marshal Raylan around which the series was crafted. But totally agree that Elmore Leonard was a great crime (and western) writer. Master of dialog.
Raylan is one of those "once in a lifetime" characters. And, Timothy Olyphant was literally the ONLY person who could play him. Walton Goggins' portrayal of Boyd was also cinematic perfection. Two great powerhouses in a single series, in the absolute peak of their character portrayal and writing matchups!!!
Perfection . 110% man , from Scotland. Just so good and criminally under rated. For me in top 5 ever with Sopranos-Wire etc etc.Casting, script and the acting all first class. I hope Raylon comesback older and back to Kentucky. Boyd released. Wouldnt that be awesome.
“I’ve been accused of being many things, inarticulate ain’t one of them.” That made me laugh so hard when Boyd said that, I love the little self-aware moment.
+Gilbert Leon (LeonBMX) Give it a whirl. It's on Netflix. I believe you'll find it's neither "light" or "family like". Gets pretty dark at times, actually.
Timothy Oliphant was responsible for many sleep-deprived nights for me as I binge-watched Justified. The love and hate between Raylan and Boyd was a kind of surging current that I could not swim against. Justified one of the most well produced, powerful series I've ever seen.
Boyd help save Raylan's life multiple times. Saved in , in the coal mine, Raylan shot him, almost to death. slept with the woman he loves. Boyd help him in a gun fight with his own father. Boyd took care of Raylan's father as his own. Raylan help put the woman he slept with and Boyds wife in prison. Boyd saves Raylan when Dickie Bennet strung him up. Raylan tried to shoot boyd, but boyd forced him to send him in prison instead.
@@slewone4905 I see you ignored the part where Boyd used Ava as bait to try and kill Raylan in the first episode, or how Boyd only volunteered to take part in the Bulletville fight because Bo had killed all of his men. His relationship with Raylan had nothing to do with his motives. However, it did have to do with why Raylan trusted Boyd with a gun. As for Boyd and Arlo's relationship, Arlo was a business partner to Boyd. They were good friends besides, but don't forget that it was also Boyd's idea to sacrifice Arlo and have him take the fall for Boyd's actions. Raylan had nothing to do with Ava's conviction. She was arrested by Harlan County Sheriff's Deputies based on information from Lee Paxton and presumably sentenced by a Harlan county judge. Raylan did, however, get her out, even if it was to serve his own ends. Boyd saving Raylan from Dickie Bennet also had very little to do with their relationship. They had a shared enemy, so saving Raylan helped Boyd achieve his own goals. In the finale, Boyd had gone completely off the rails, concerned only with his own survival and enrichment. Boyd's surrender was as close he is capable of getting to groveling on his knees
I'm from a village in South Africa where the sun come out at 10 am and sets at 3 pm because of all the mountains, people spends their days drinking and wishing for something better. I got out but man! this song hits home.
My grandfather, an old coal miner, once told me, "There are certain things that can bind two souls together: love, combat, and the fear and terror that only a fellow coal miner can experience."
Boyd Crowder : *sprawled on the ground after taking a sucker punch to the gut from Raylen* - "Well if I take this conversation vertical can I expect more of the same?"....I miss this show...some of the best dialogue I've seen on TV in ages.
@@johnvicks7153 I know!!!! I fed off that for months. I saw him interviewed and he mentioned where he got that line - not that I can remember, but my gosh, what delivery.
I blew my mind when I found out this song wasn't written for the show. It really is a testament to both the song and the show that they can evoke such visceral emotions even if you didn't grow up in a coal mining family or in a place like Harlan.
I know. Same here. When I realized that the song had been around for many years and had many versions, I was blown away!!! It fit the show so perfectly!!!!
I love the way he starts out in a minor mode, and then when he sings "Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning," he changes to a happier sounding major sound that some how still sounds sad. That change gives me chills.
He's such a great antagonist specifically because he's not a "bad guy." He's just a guy, like everyone. A guy who, in a tale as old as time, turns to criminal enterprises because of desperation, and because crime is basically all he knew aside from coal mining. Boyd is intelligent, honest (at least for the overwhelming majority of the time,) reliable, and takes good care of the people he cares about, however, he did get into some truly awful stuff. The law would call him a "bad guy," but Raylan or any other friend of his would tell you he's good to his people. Like any real human being, he's part good and part bad. Nobody is all good or all bad. Boyd contains multitudes and nuances. He's portrayed like a real person, and that's what makes the character so compelling, in my mind. However, I also maintain that if anyone besides Walton Goggins had played Boyd, there's no way he would've been half as compelling.
I'm a Helton and from Harlan, Ky. My daddy was a coal miner and had Black Lung. He went to DC and fault for Black Lung Benefits in the early 70's. I know exactly where Catrons Valley is. My roots are definitely in Harlan, still live here.
Appalachian Mountains I’m from McCreary county and have Hilton’s in my family, grandpa died with black lung also, this song makes me tear up. I miss those folks and those hills
Interesting (to me) historical note, from a friend of mine who's descended from Gilberts, who settled Kentucky long before coal was a thing. The "long hunters"* from Virginia and other eastern parts came back from 3-6 month hunting trips and described Kentucky like it was heaven. It kinda was, if you farmed or otherwise lived off the land-plenty of water, rich soil and (relatively) mild weather. So the Cumberland Gap was the way to get to this Promised Land, and itself became kinda song-famous. Long strange trip it's been since then. Living here in the Rockies, it takes a bit of adjustment to recall back to the times when Kentucky was "The Wild West", but it most assuredly was, for a time. May it be more blessed in the future. *-guys who lead months **_long*_* expeditions into the "western wilderness" hoping to come back with a bankable amount of meat and furs. It was a pretty lucrative endeavor for those tough and savvy enough to make it work. Of course the Indians (abos/Native Americans/can't remember the tribal names, sry) might catch you and you were screwed. Daniel Boone used to lose about one out of three payloads. Of course the Indians would just take the stuff and let you go, and why not? You might bring 'em some more, lol. **-they also used "long" rifles, I think the name comes from both. I don't think they were all tall though,
I'm from western Pennsylvania, my Pop started in the coal mines when he was 11 years old in 1928 and worked there for 35 years minus WWII for 4 years, I was beside him when he had his lung taken out in 1994. I am in WV now and I been all thru the coal country. The day after BHO left office, i seen the barges moving like crazy up the Ohio river. get ready for a collapse of the economy ....
The series pulled you into the fabric of their lives. You became woven into the love, the passion and the tragedies. The music stirred the depths of emotion. You were moved to tears and laughter. You engaged the dialogues and walked their paths of human pain and pleasure. At the end, after experiencing the culture and the creed, it was all Justified.
I am from the cold north in Canada. The soul of this song stays the same for all the one horse soul crushing towns where you dream to escape but just cant.
These coal towns where poverty was so prevalent and the mining companies were so blackhearted and terribly greedy. Watch Matewan and Barbara Koppel's Harlan County, USA. Can you imagine only getting paid in scrip, vouchers you could only use to by super-inflated goods in the mining company's store and being booted from your home after your father dies in a mine accident or black lung. Just an American tragedy.

Michael Warren I found the programme through the song. Really enjoying it, dialogue so far above the rubbish being mass produced now, characters and storylines great, Boyd seems to get the best lines, great character
In the deep dark hills of eastern Kentucky That's the place where I trace my bloodline And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone You will never leave Harlan alive Oh, my granddad's dad walked down Katahrins Mountain And he asked Tillie Helton to be his bride Said, won't you walk with me out of the mouth Of this holler Or we'll never leave Harlan alive Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning And the sun goes down about three in the day And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinking And you spend your life just thinkin' of how to get away No one ever knew there was coal in them mountains 'Til a man from the Northeast arrived Waving hundred dollar bills he said I'll pay ya for your minerals But he never left Harlan alive Granny sold out cheap and they moved out west Of Pineville To a farm where big Richland River winds I bet they danced them a jig, laughed and sang a new song Who said we'd never leave Harlan alive But the times got hard and tobacco wasn't selling And ole granddad knew what he'd do to survive He went and dug for Harlan coal And sent the money back to granny But he never left Harlan alive Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning And the sun goes down about three in the day And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinking And you spend your life just thinkin' of how to get away Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning And the sun goes down about three in the day And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinking And you spend your life digging coal from the bottom of your grave In the deep dark hills of eastern Kentucky That's the place where I trace my bloodline And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone You will never leave Harlan alive
I've never been able to decide if that was ironic or not, Boyd saying that. I think, at the end of the day, he had his convictions. As many as Raylan, far more than Ava.
Justified is the best show that I've seen. Just loved all of it and especially the last season and last episode, it was just a great and heart felt ending. "We dug coal together". I could watch it all over again, and this song just hits home after you seen the ending.
I wouldn't rate it the best show ever. But I would put it top 5 for sure. However, I thought season 2 was still the best, with the Bennett clan, Mags Bennett being one of the coolest "villains" I have ever seen in a tv show. She deserved her golden globe or whichever big award it was that she won for that role, that's for damn sure. I must disagree on the ending though. For one I thought putting that gunslinger guy in there just to have Raylan face off in a cliched western movie showdown, felt a bit cheap and tacky. Much as I enjoyed the character, and his fascination with the girl (forgot her name now for some reason) especially, it just felt a bit forced to make him a revolver-toting quickdraw dead-eye shot expert just so Raylan could have someone who might match him in a face-off. If they had introduced the character a season or 2 earlier, and really built up their rivalry and hatred for each other, it might have worked better. But what would have really worked would have been having the guy work for Boyd, and have Raylan, the gunslinger, and Boyd, all get killed in the final episode during the last shootout. And have the girl character (who Mags was trying to sort of adopt) cradle Raylans head in her heads, crying as he dies, and maybe have Ava doing the same for Boyd. Would have been a far more impactful ending, I think, if Boyd and Raylan had died. That would show us that their obsession with the lives they had chosen could only end one way Like Jax dying at the end of sons of anarchy, or Walt dying at the end of breaking bad (which IS the best show of all time by the way). It would have been such an emotional twister, it would have been great to see. As well as being heartbreaking, of course.
I'm the grandson of Southern KY share croppers and Eastern KY coal miners, born and raised in KY. As much as this song speaks to, there's a universal melancholy about being a working family in America.
We aint getting out of this life alive anyways. I feel the people that work themselves to death are some of the best people this world has seen, my dad will probably go the same way, says he wouldn't know what to do with himself. I personally don't see literally working yourself to death as a bad way to go, I just don't want to work myself to death for somebody other than my family or myself. To die workin' my own piece of land would be ideal.
I don't think it's a melancholy just about being a working family I think it's the existence and feeling isolated because of the distances between people the rest of the world doesn't have and the impossibility of retirement due to tax burdens and government overreach that really sits in the back of all Americans minds. I think that's why we're the best at everything, nothing to lose we're just another gear in the machine might as well be the best at something
This song is just like the series. You're intrigued at the start, and while you enjoy it you're not thinking it's all that special yet. Then somewhere in there, it sinks in deep and the closer it gets to the end the more you realize your heart's all-in on it. When it's over you feel a little empty and a little heartsick. And you just yearn for those early moments when it was all fresh and hopeful and there was no real tomorrow but the romantic one you dreamed up while sipping this in. I miss you, Justified. I guess not all of me made it out of you alive, either. We dug coal together.
I'm sure you'll enjoy Longmire. The main character is a badass, understated and with a somewhat more seriousness to the series in general. The books are excellent as well. Wyoming, the place where I ought to be...........
stoneydanyahoo I really liked this show. It was always pedal to the metal. A testament to the writers and actors. I was sad to see it end,but Raylan could only chase Boyd for so long.
Agree, finally saw him in a small club a few years ago in Cincy. When your wife is doing the merch, you know the show is gonna be intimate and humble. A story for every song, and a lil question and answer period. Darrell is great !
Hello 👋 Sue. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
It wasn't a coal mine, but I'm Southern Indiana born and my papaw grew up in the shadow of and still lives in the shadow of the Rock Quarry that my whole family has worked in. We will never leave Crawford alive. This song brought 3 generations of strip miners to the verge of tears one summer day.
my grandfather and his brothers all worked in the logging industry. my father worked in a gold mine though when i was a little kid, and my great great grandfather was a foremen for a gold mine when he immigrated from Ireland.
Yeah, one of the best villains by far. But I also loved Dewey Crowe. That guy was the funniest fucking character on there. "Have you been pissing?" "He took my kidneys, Raylan, not my dick."

The Abominable Snowman i agree Dewey was great too..lol
I just finished watching the entire series for the first time on my Firestick. One of the best shows ever! I didn't want it to end. I tried to pace myself, but I still burned through the whole thing in about a month. I'll wait a while and watch it all over again.
Ignore them, it's country music. Country music is broad in meaning nowadays. The writing makes it country, though technically the music might lean more bluegrass.
I'm listening to this and looking out at the knobs here in my Kentucky home . This music strums the strings of my soul . It goes deep down like the roots on the 100 yr old trees off the porch . Dappled sunlight streams through the branches and shines on my face . There's nothing like sitting at the old home place . Sipping on some shine and musing about my old friend Bill . He never left the bluegrass and now he never will , he's buried in his grave, way up on the hill .
I think part of the draw of this song is that while most people don't literally come from Kentucky coal country, as a metaphor everyone can relate. If you follow someone's lineage back, you can almost always find a place people love to hate and hate to love; where they work a job and live a life they will curse to hell twice over with every breath, right until they leave it and can never feel right anywhere else.

Darrell Scott is such an amazing musician and songwriter. The guitar line of this song and its execution are full of a skill and a passion second to none.
I'm from NYC, born and raised. My friends always give me crap for not just liking this type of music...but absolutely loving it. I can't live without it. It makes me feel alive.
She owns this song. I know he wrote it and sings it well. Thank you Darryll! This version here is awesome but Patty... wow. Similar to how Janis owned "Me and Bobby McGee" but huge respect to Kris for writing it.
June 29, 2021. I came here through the music group Gangstagrass that was just on America’s Got Talent. That let me to the show Justified which I’d never heard until today. I just started watching Season 1. Beautiful version of the song. Thanks
Wasn’t sure about this series at first glance, but as I watched more and more, I got hooked. Just finished season 6. This song will forever remind me of Raylan Givens, Boyd Crowder and Justified. Now I’m looking for more just like it. 🇨🇦
@MiThreeSunz Good luck finding another show "just like" Justified. As there are NONE ! But forgive me - I am very biased, loved Justified, the tone of the show, depth of the characters and insanely great dialogue. But many, including myself, really liked Deadwood also (the TV series, not the movie). I believe there are something like 20 actors that played characters in both Deadwood and Justified. Have fun if you get a chance to watch it also !
Kelly Jo Beezhold Didn't you guys get any money from them Dukes in the70's? bet that probably wasn't filmed there either was it?? is Boss Hogg still the mayor though? ;-)
Matt Tackett I didn't know there were 2 hazard counties thanks for the heads up! Just watched the last Justified now not the shoot out to end it like I thought it would be?? Bit lame I thought to be fair! what u think?
My mom's side of my family is from Harlan County, Evarts to be exact. I grew up close to there in Virginia and spent a good deal of time in Harlan. I worked in the coal mines for years in Virginia like my father, and his father's father. I have since moved to North Carolina, work in a chemical solvent extraction company. But I always love listening to this song to remind me of the way it was back home. God bless all you coal miners, digging from their grave. It is not an easy life. Take care of yourselves
My mother and her sister witnessed a murder in Evans during the union wars. She graduated from Evans HS. My father and 2 grandfathers were coal miners. Tracing my bloodlines into the deep dark hills of eastern KY. I love this song.
Boyd was the best character I've ever had the pleasure of watching, every time. The conversations we have now are so mundane, text talk..... A wordsmith is a thing of the past....pure poetry American Style..... American Dream❤
I'm a Floyd County refugee, born there and grateful that my dad worked his ass off to get us all out, and this tells our story like nothing else I've ever heard, and it brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. I thank God that I got out of Stone Coal Holler alive! Props to all my relatives and fellow Appalachians, and to all those who've gone down into the ground and dug coal.
They were really running low on decent writing the last season or two, and this was most evident with the "gunfighter" in the last season. That was absolute cringe.
No that would of watered it down. Why do people always complain about when a show ends but then when it keeps going it gets boring. Except the Simpsons who always have new material you just can't create a 20 year tv show and have it be any good. Especially when there is gunfights and such. People die early as outlaws. So inn20 years Raylan would have killed every outlaw in Harlan or been killed himself
Jimmy: “What do we do now?” Boyd: “Take a few moments to contemplate the mortal remains of Henry Willis and to thank him for being more useful in death than he ever was in life.” Jimmy: “You knew this guy?” Boyd: “Ironically I did. He started drinking at ten got hooked on oxi by the time he was fifteen and that was all she wrote. But we all end up where he is sooner or later.”
May 20 2020. Im here during the dismantling of the USA. These are bad times. No one to bring unity and reassurance. So I’ll retreat into my music. Stay safe all!
I left Harlan Alive...And been back and have made it out each time...WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE...PURE COUNTRY ...I live only 20 miles from HARLAN TO THIS DAY...(even though I know many who didn't leave ...except maybe in a Pine Box....😉
Yes.... I've watched every episode of Justified over and over again, an awesome show, about a uniquely American lifestyle that many of us who were born and raised in the suburbs or cities would never know of or understand unless we had something to show us. The Appalachian Lifestyle the hollers and the mountains, it is a uniquely American invention, like country music and Jazz and I happen to think Timothy Olyphant is a good actor, also. But the first time I heard You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive it gave me chills and I've been listening to songs music of all kinds for almost 50 years. I had to learn the chords and get the lyrics sheet immediately. One of those amazingsongs that comes along every once in a great while.....
@@donnymoney4222 I didn't think Kentucky was so great until I lived in other places, California being 1 of them. After that, Ky didn't seem so bad-lol.
Remember your ABCs. Always Be Cool. (Boyd Crowder.) Well it might not be cool to cry listening to this song, but I have. More than once. Long live Darrell Scott and Justified !
I miss this show. My father's side of the family is from hollers of Allen County and to see a modern "western" set in the state that half of my roots were from was everything. Raylan Givens was 100%
Raylan Givens: Well, I suppose if I allow myself to be sentimental, despite all that has occurred, there is one thing I wander back to. Boyd Crowder: We dug coal together. Raylan Givens: That's right. Me: on tears :(
Always thought every season should have ended with this song and a pictorial review of the events from that season. Would be just perfect. Hoping for this at the end of Season 6, the final.
Darrell played the Sheldon Concert Hall in St. Louis last night, sang this while self accompanied on their big Steinway grand piano! Yeah, he's a monster on the keyboard, too. In nearly 50 years of concert going, one of the very best shows I've ever seen.
As a coal miner who started in Scotland Worked in Australia, And the USA, I love miners, the tough shit they have to go thru every day, and keep going with "Nary" a word of complaint. Unbeatable!!
dusktildawn48, happy to run into this beautiful and sad song. I'm 56 and from mid west, living west. Nice!!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful story so it is not lost!!!
I lost that song and I tried for so long to find it back but in vain. However, Today that beautiful song was waiting for me in my recommendation and I'm so happy. I'm grateful.
Saw this song in my recommended many times and passed by it for some reason. Today I finally clicked on it and I'm glad I did, this is such a great song!
I've never seen Justified but I love this song. I pass through Harlan when my family goes to Harrogate for decoration, and I recently found out that I'm descended from the Tillie Helton mentioned in this song.

This is awesome to hear buddy. Thanks for doing what you do every day.
This show is still somehow criminally under-watched and unknown by most. Easily in my top 5.
It was written by Elmore Leonard, a true legend and one of the best crime writers
I only just recently started it, however, I wholeheartedly agree with you, the show is great and I hope I’ll get the chance to binge watch it soon
@@darkplasmo7921 Elmore wrote one short story about a US Marshal Raylan around which the series was crafted. But totally agree that Elmore Leonard was a great crime (and western) writer. Master of dialog.
Top 2
Raylan is one of those "once in a lifetime" characters. And, Timothy Olyphant was literally the ONLY person who could play him. Walton Goggins' portrayal of Boyd was also cinematic perfection. Two great powerhouses in a single series, in the absolute peak of their character portrayal and writing matchups!!!
That final scene and line, "we dug coal together" every single time I see it!
Perfection . 110% man , from Scotland. Just so good and criminally under rated. For me in top 5 ever with Sopranos-Wire etc etc.Casting, script and the acting all first class. I hope Raylon comesback older and back to Kentucky. Boyd released. Wouldnt that be awesome.
I can just hear Boyd saying damnit Raylan
I agree 100%
@@DelStrainOriginal12Legion The spin off is coming. Not sure about Boyd. Givens will be back.
“I’ve been accused of being many things, inarticulate ain’t one of them.” That made me laugh so hard when Boyd said that, I love the little self-aware moment.
Oh, he was a "redneck wordsmith" for sure!!
Elmore Leonard wrote the best dialogue ever
I laughed just reading this comment. One of my favorite lines from the show. Time to watch it for the third time I think.
So true.
One might even bestow the highest honor onto him by calling him "hillbilly Shakespeare".
The world needs more contemporary westerns like Justified...
+Gilbert Leon (LeonBMX) True enough. We have one, at least - Longmire!
+moparedtn I been tempted to start watching it, I just feel like maybe its too light and family like unlike Justified.
+Gilbert Leon (LeonBMX) Give it a whirl. It's on Netflix.
I believe you'll find it's neither "light" or "family like". Gets pretty dark at times, actually.
Will do so then, thanks for the info! moparedtn
+Gilbert Leon (LeonBMX) I'll second the recommendation.
Timothy Oliphant was responsible for many sleep-deprived nights for me as I binge-watched Justified. The love and hate between Raylan and Boyd was a kind of surging current that I could not swim against. Justified one of the most well produced, powerful series I've ever seen.
Boyd help save Raylan's life multiple times. Saved in , in the coal mine, Raylan shot him, almost to death. slept with the woman he loves. Boyd help him in a gun fight with his own father. Boyd took care of Raylan's father as his own. Raylan help put the woman he slept with and Boyds wife in prison. Boyd saves Raylan when Dickie Bennet strung him up. Raylan tried to shoot boyd, but boyd forced him to send him in prison instead.
Keeps us irish viewers fascinated it's a wonderful series
they dug coal together
@@slewone4905 I see you ignored the part where Boyd used Ava as bait to try and kill Raylan in the first episode, or how Boyd only volunteered to take part in the Bulletville fight because Bo had killed all of his men. His relationship with Raylan had nothing to do with his motives. However, it did have to do with why Raylan trusted Boyd with a gun. As for Boyd and Arlo's relationship, Arlo was a business partner to Boyd. They were good friends besides, but don't forget that it was also Boyd's idea to sacrifice Arlo and have him take the fall for Boyd's actions. Raylan had nothing to do with Ava's conviction. She was arrested by Harlan County Sheriff's Deputies based on information from Lee Paxton and presumably sentenced by a Harlan county judge. Raylan did, however, get her out, even if it was to serve his own ends. Boyd saving Raylan from Dickie Bennet also had very little to do with their relationship. They had a shared enemy, so saving Raylan helped Boyd achieve his own goals. In the finale, Boyd had gone completely off the rails, concerned only with his own survival and enrichment. Boyd's surrender was as close he is capable of getting to groveling on his knees
I'm from a village in South Africa where the sun come out at 10 am and sets at 3 pm because of all the mountains, people spends their days drinking and wishing for something better. I got out but man! this song hits home.
Far Out, Man!
Rural white South Africa is very similar to Appalachia life.

Anyone else was almost in tears when Boyd and Raylan's last conversation? Such an awesome TV series.
Boyd was my favourite character I wish his story ended happier for him
I am still crying
It’s been three years since I watched the show
It’s a master piece
My grandfather, an old coal miner, once told me, "There are certain things that can bind two souls together: love, combat, and the fear and terror that only a fellow coal miner can experience."
Boyd Crowder : *sprawled on the ground after taking a sucker punch to the gut from Raylen* - "Well if I take this conversation vertical can I expect more of the same?"....I miss this show...some of the best dialogue I've seen on TV in ages.
One of the best lines ever, was when Raylan threw a round on Wynn’s chest and said the next one’s coming a lot faster!
John Vicks Pure unadulterated badassery.
I so agree
@@johnvicks7153 I know!!!! I fed off that for months. I saw him interviewed and he mentioned where he got that line - not that I can remember, but my gosh, what delivery.
Wynn's eyebrows always perplexed me. He looks like a macaroni penguin.
I blew my mind when I found out this song wasn't written for the show. It really is a testament to both the song and the show that they can evoke such visceral emotions even if you didn't grow up in a coal mining family or in a place like Harlan.
Yes the song by Darrell Scott was written way before Justified I believe.
I just found out it was in a show.
It got the nickname bloody harlan for good reason , the literal war , and long before that in the 60s or 70s
Im in Hyden , next door ,maybe 45 mins away drive
I know. Same here. When I realized that the song had been around for many years and had many versions, I was blown away!!! It fit the show so perfectly!!!!
Never been a big country fan, but the way this song opens up to the listener.. Wow.
This song got under my skin. Awesome tune.
Bawlin2010 it ain't country it's bluegrass what runs through the blood of all us hill folk
Ah sorry about the mix up :) sounds amazing tho..
Totally my thought.
Bawlin2010 check out (uncle lucius) keep the wolves away
Just heard it, song is awesome :) went directly to the like list.. thank you for the tip David :)
I love the way he starts out in a minor mode, and then when he sings "Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning," he changes to a happier sounding major sound that some how still sounds sad. That change gives me chills.
The whole entire cast of justified are some of the greatest actors I've ever watched. Boyd Crowder hands down one of the best bad guys
He's such a great antagonist specifically because he's not a "bad guy." He's just a guy, like everyone. A guy who, in a tale as old as time, turns to criminal enterprises because of desperation, and because crime is basically all he knew aside from coal mining.
Boyd is intelligent, honest (at least for the overwhelming majority of the time,) reliable, and takes good care of the people he cares about, however, he did get into some truly awful stuff. The law would call him a "bad guy," but Raylan or any other friend of his would tell you he's good to his people.
Like any real human being, he's part good and part bad. Nobody is all good or all bad. Boyd contains multitudes and nuances. He's portrayed like a real person, and that's what makes the character so compelling, in my mind. However, I also maintain that if anyone besides Walton Goggins had played Boyd, there's no way he would've been half as compelling.
@@ObeyCamp well put. WG is brilliant in everything but this is his best role imho because it has such broad scope.
The Greatest Anti-Hero Of All Time......
I'm a Helton and from Harlan, Ky. My daddy was a coal miner and had Black Lung. He went to DC and fault for Black Lung Benefits in the early 70's. I know exactly where Catrons Valley is. My roots are definitely in Harlan, still live here.
Appalachian Mountains I’m from McCreary county and have Hilton’s in my family, grandpa died with black lung also, this song makes me tear up. I miss those folks and those hills
This show was dedicated to you and your family.
Those who have never lived in Kentucky, will never understand.
Interesting (to me) historical note, from a friend of mine who's descended from Gilberts, who settled Kentucky long before coal was a thing. The "long hunters"* from Virginia and other eastern parts came back from 3-6 month hunting trips and described Kentucky like it was heaven. It kinda was, if you farmed or otherwise lived off the land-plenty of water, rich soil and (relatively) mild weather. So the Cumberland Gap was the way to get to this Promised Land, and itself became kinda song-famous. Long strange trip it's been since then. Living here in the Rockies, it takes a bit of adjustment to recall back to the times when Kentucky was "The Wild West", but it most assuredly was, for a time.
May it be more blessed in the future.
*-guys who lead months **_long*_* expeditions into the "western wilderness" hoping to come back with a bankable amount of meat and furs. It was a pretty lucrative endeavor for those tough and savvy enough to make it work. Of course the Indians (abos/Native Americans/can't remember the tribal names, sry) might catch you and you were screwed. Daniel Boone used to lose about one out of three payloads. Of course the Indians would just take the stuff and let you go, and why not? You might bring 'em some more, lol.
**-they also used "long" rifles, I think the name comes from both. I don't think they were all tall though,
I'm from western Pennsylvania, my Pop started in the coal mines when he was 11 years old in 1928 and worked there for 35 years minus WWII for 4 years, I was beside him when he had his lung taken out in 1994. I am in WV now and I been all thru the coal country. The day after BHO left office, i seen the barges moving like crazy up the Ohio river. get ready for a collapse of the economy ....
Hello how are you doing my friend
To this day, I still think Justified had the best ending to a show that I have ever seen.
Currently re-watching the series; once again, amazing, every character is with his unique personality, every dialogue is a work of art, good show.
The series pulled you into the fabric of their lives. You became woven into the love, the passion and the tragedies.
The music stirred the depths of emotion. You were moved to tears and laughter. You engaged the dialogues and walked their paths of human pain and pleasure.
At the end, after experiencing the culture and the creed, it was all Justified.
I am from the cold north in Canada. The soul of this song stays the same for all the one horse soul crushing towns where you dream to escape but just cant.
These coal towns where poverty was so prevalent and the mining companies were so blackhearted and terribly greedy. Watch Matewan and Barbara Koppel's Harlan County, USA. Can you imagine only getting paid in scrip, vouchers you could only use to by super-inflated goods in the mining company's store and being booted from your home after your father dies in a mine accident or black lung. Just an American tragedy.
You from Sundre to? lol
@@davidsmith8787 thunder bay currently but i have rocked in a number of the tiny but hole spots. Not that Tbay is not buthole though it is just a larger one
sometime you leave out of there and as you get old you wish for simpler times....
"A man that talks out of both sides of his mouth, deserves to have it permanently shut." Boyd Crowder
Michael Warren I found the programme through the song. Really enjoying it, dialogue so far above the rubbish being mass produced now, characters and storylines great, Boyd seems to get the best lines, great character
Boyd was an amazing character!
old joe talks out of his ASS#TRUMP2020
In the deep dark hills of eastern Kentucky
That's the place where I trace my bloodline
And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone
You will never leave Harlan alive
Oh, my granddad's dad walked down
Katahrins Mountain
And he asked Tillie Helton to be his bride
Said, won't you walk with me out of the mouth
Of this holler
Or we'll never leave Harlan alive
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
And the sun goes down about three in the day
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinking
And you spend your life just thinkin' of how to get away
No one ever knew there was coal in them mountains
'Til a man from the Northeast arrived
Waving hundred dollar bills he said I'll pay ya for your minerals
But he never left Harlan alive
Granny sold out cheap and they moved out west
Of Pineville
To a farm where big Richland River winds
I bet they danced them a jig, laughed and sang a new song
Who said we'd never leave Harlan alive
But the times got hard and tobacco wasn't selling
And ole granddad knew what he'd do to survive
He went and dug for Harlan coal
And sent the money back to granny
But he never left Harlan alive
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
And the sun goes down about three in the day
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinking
And you spend your life just thinkin' of how to get away
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
And the sun goes down about three in the day
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinking
And you spend your life digging coal from the bottom of your grave
In the deep dark hills of eastern Kentucky
That's the place where I trace my bloodline
And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone
You will never leave Harlan alive
I've never been able to decide if that was ironic or not, Boyd saying that. I think, at the end of the day, he had his convictions. As many as Raylan, far more than Ava.
Justified is the best show that I've seen. Just loved all of it and especially the last season and last episode, it was just a great and heart felt ending. "We dug coal together". I could watch it all over again, and this song just hits home after you seen the ending.
I wouldn't rate it the best show ever. But I would put it top 5 for sure. However, I thought season 2 was still the best, with the Bennett clan, Mags Bennett being one of the coolest "villains" I have ever seen in a tv show. She deserved her golden globe or whichever big award it was that she won for that role, that's for damn sure.
I must disagree on the ending though. For one I thought putting that gunslinger guy in there just to have Raylan face off in a cliched western movie showdown, felt a bit cheap and tacky. Much as I enjoyed the character, and his fascination with the girl (forgot her name now for some reason) especially, it just felt a bit forced to make him a revolver-toting quickdraw dead-eye shot expert just so Raylan could have someone who might match him in a face-off. If they had introduced the character a season or 2 earlier, and really built up their rivalry and hatred for each other, it might have worked better. But what would have really worked would have been having the guy work for Boyd, and have Raylan, the gunslinger, and Boyd, all get killed in the final episode during the last shootout. And have the girl character (who Mags was trying to sort of adopt) cradle Raylans head in her heads, crying as he dies, and maybe have Ava doing the same for Boyd. Would have been a far more impactful ending, I think, if Boyd and Raylan had died. That would show us that their obsession with the lives they had chosen could only end one way
Like Jax dying at the end of sons of anarchy, or Walt dying at the end of breaking bad (which IS the best show of all time by the way). It would have been such an emotional twister, it would have been great to see. As well as being heartbreaking, of course.
Check out Deadwood if you haven't seen it. It's also legendary.
Have you watched City Primeval yet?
I'm the grandson of Southern KY share croppers and Eastern KY coal miners, born and raised in KY. As much as this song speaks to, there's a universal melancholy about being a working family in America.
We aint getting out of this life alive anyways.
I feel the people that work themselves to death are some of the best people this world has seen, my dad will probably go the same way, says he wouldn't know what to do with himself. I personally don't see literally working yourself to death as a bad way to go, I just don't want to work myself to death for somebody other than my family or myself. To die workin' my own piece of land would be ideal.
there's something melancholy about people who can't progress their lives.
I don't think it's a melancholy just about being a working family I think it's the existence and feeling isolated because of the distances between people the rest of the world doesn't have and the impossibility of retirement due to tax burdens and government overreach that really sits in the back of all Americans minds. I think that's why we're the best at everything, nothing to lose we're just another gear in the machine might as well be the best at something
yeah, simple life is over
J.C. Young, that's very interesting and makes me think.
This song is just like the series. You're intrigued at the start, and while you enjoy it you're not thinking it's all that special yet. Then somewhere in there, it sinks in deep and the closer it gets to the end the more you realize your heart's all-in on it.
When it's over you feel a little empty and a little heartsick. And you just yearn for those early moments when it was all fresh and hopeful and there was no real tomorrow but the romantic one you dreamed up while sipping this in.
I miss you, Justified. I guess not all of me made it out of you alive, either. We dug coal together.
this comment is on point. Except, for me, it started a lil slow, was a bit bored by the first episodes but after those, boy, what an adventure
I miss Justified so much! One of my all-time favorite shows.
beautifully said.
also my favourite series of all time, alongside spartacus blood and sand.
I'm sure you'll enjoy Longmire. The main character is a badass, understated and with a somewhat more seriousness to the series in general. The books are excellent as well. Wyoming, the place where I ought to be...........
stoneydanyahoo I really liked this show. It was always pedal to the metal. A testament to the writers and actors.
I was sad to see it end,but Raylan could only chase Boyd for so long.
Just finished season 2 ... just WOW ! This show is beyond amazing !
Mags and her sons really made season 2 one of the best in the series. They are all great but 1 and 2 were absolutely my favorite
"You shot me in the Back"...Raylan, "If you wanted to be shot in the front, you should have been running towards me"...
"I've shot folks I like more for alot less"
"This is US Deputy Marshal Raylan Givens. I'm gonna need an ambulance...and a coroner."
Magnificent end to Justified.
Last episode == true classic for TV for years and years to come
Tiago Sena made an example
“If ya make me pull, I’ll put you down.”
Never fails to give me chills, this song.
If you're moved by this song, please do yourself the favor of seeing Darrell Scott do a solo show. He will move you to tears.
Agree, finally saw him in a small club a few years ago in Cincy. When your wife is doing the merch, you know the show is gonna be intimate and humble. A story for every song, and a lil question and answer period. Darrell is great !
Have just rewatched all seasons of Justified after several years. Fantastic series - great characters, great actors.
Hello 👋 Sue. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
Justified, quite possibly "the best" written, acted and directed series on TV ever, I'd even put it above The Shield, which was brilliant in its day.
gixerloon above the shield!? You wanna throw hands, boi?
naaaah, sopranos and the wire. but yeah, justified was pretty awesome.
Vic Mackey, Raylen Givens, Rick Grimes, Jack Bauer and Lucas Hood walk into a bar. Hood would own the room.
do not forget the WIRE
Godless for me, but justified is first.
"I've seen my death and this aint it."
It wasn't a coal mine, but I'm Southern Indiana born and my papaw grew up in the shadow of and still lives in the shadow of the Rock Quarry that my whole family has worked in. We will never leave Crawford alive. This song brought 3 generations of strip miners to the verge of tears one summer day.
Crawford County? If I’m right you probably live in Marengo then, yeah? That’s where all the quarries are at.
@@zenormcclure9071 No. Grandpa had a Leavenworth address but lived two miles from the gate to Cape Sandy between Alton and Leavenworth
My great grandfather died in a coal mine. My papaw lost his arm in one. That last scene was powerful for me, and this song was perfect...
my grandfather and his brothers all worked in the logging industry. my father worked in a gold mine though when i was a little kid, and my great great grandfather was a foremen for a gold mine when he immigrated from Ireland.
Walton Goggin and timothy Olyphant are an unbeatable combination.
Boyd Crowder is one of the greatest character of all time !
+DarkReeves QRF Def agree with you, this was a great show
He's a god damned outlaw!
Yeah, one of the best villains by far. But I also loved Dewey Crowe. That guy was the funniest fucking character on there. "Have you been pissing?" "He took my kidneys, Raylan, not my dick."
The Abominable Snowman i agree Dewey was great too..lol
The Abominable Snowman These are end times for Dewey Crow!
I just finished watching the entire series for the first time on my Firestick. One of the best shows ever! I didn't want it to end. I tried to pace myself, but I still burned through the whole thing in about a month. I'll wait a while and watch it all over again.
You're not the only 1 who watches is over. I can't get enough of this show.
I watch the series once every two years, it keeps it fresh.
I'm a fan of old westerns and this show was brilliant for dragging a lot of that into newer days. Loved it!!
The kinda music you listen to when you want to get wasted by yourself
Garrett Larsen true
Garrett Larsen well thats strange because that's precisely what the fuck I'm doing
Van Taite Aye, mate!
That's hilarious!
That's exactly what I'm doing right now.
Not really a country music fan, but this song is hauntingly beautiful.
not country, more americana
Bluegrass blues
Ignore them, it's country music. Country music is broad in meaning nowadays. The writing makes it country, though technically the music might lean more bluegrass.
I'm listening to this and looking out at the knobs here in my Kentucky home . This music strums the strings of my soul . It goes deep down like the roots on the 100 yr old trees off the porch . Dappled sunlight streams through the branches and shines on my face . There's nothing like sitting at the old home place . Sipping on some shine and musing about my old friend Bill . He never left the bluegrass and now he never will , he's buried in his grave, way up on the hill .
Well count your blessings sis, i am from the old hills here in s e mo and know how to survive.
Thank for sharing. Funny how a TV show has introduced me to so much good music.
I think part of the draw of this song is that while most people don't literally come from Kentucky coal country, as a metaphor everyone can relate. If you follow someone's lineage back, you can almost always find a place people love to hate and hate to love; where they work a job and live a life they will curse to hell twice over with every breath, right until they leave it and can never feel right anywhere else.
Mena Arkansas is one of the towns iv been in that fits that description for me
man, fuck yuma. also, jesus christ it's cold everywhere else.
I'm from southeastern coal country ky. I heard stories of three generations of men working the mine the same day different shifts. It kills your soul.
This is the story for many in mining and steel plants, dried up and gone. Many didnt have a plan B
Wow, very well put. I understand this song better now. Reaches deeper to my heart now. Ouch. Thanks.

Darrell Scott is such an amazing musician and songwriter. The guitar line of this song and its execution are full of a skill and a passion second to none.
I'm from NYC, born and raised. My friends always give me crap for not just liking this type of music...but absolutely loving it. I can't live without it. It makes me feel alive.
Bluegrass is a way of life, welcome to the club brother.

Omg I watched all 6 seasons in 2 weeks and I fell in love
One of the best shows I’ve ever seen tbh 😎 rewatched it a good amount of times
Patty Loveless also does an amazing version of this song. Darrell Scott wrote just a really haunting song with this one.
She owns this song. I know he wrote it and sings it well. Thank you Darryll! This version here is awesome but Patty... wow. Similar to how Janis owned "Me and Bobby McGee" but huge respect to Kris for writing it.
“Your teeth glow in the dark.” Raylan, to Boyd 😬
@@MtnYetiBarbie Nah. I mean it's good, but just... Nah. Especially when Darryll sings it live, it's just a million times more powerful.
@ I won't disagree at all since I haven't had that opportunity
June 29, 2021. I came here through the music group Gangstagrass that was just on America’s Got Talent. That let me to the show Justified which I’d never heard until today. I just started watching Season 1. Beautiful version of the song. Thanks
Wasn’t sure about this series at first glance, but as I watched more and more, I got hooked. Just finished season 6. This song will forever remind me of Raylan Givens, Boyd Crowder and Justified. Now I’m looking for more just like it. 🇨🇦
@MiThreeSunz Good luck finding another show "just like" Justified. As there are NONE ! But forgive me - I am very biased, loved Justified, the tone of the show, depth of the characters and insanely great dialogue. But many, including myself, really liked Deadwood also (the TV series, not the movie). I believe there are something like 20 actors that played characters in both Deadwood and Justified. Have fun if you get a chance to watch it also !
I knew Darrell Scott. I used to go to merlefest with him and his daughter when I was kid. He is super underrated. 🖤 Never forget those times.
I live in Hazard, Kentucky. It's a shame they didn't film Justified in Harlan. We could have used the money with the coal mines shutting down.
I'm a amburgy from amburgy ky. bygod Iknow the whole story!!!
Kelly Jo Beezhold Didn't you guys get any money from them Dukes in the70's? bet that probably wasn't filmed there either was it?? is Boss Hogg still the mayor though? ;-)
dan ashworth that was actually filmed in hazard county, Georgia
dan ashworth The Dukes were from Georgia not Kentucky
Matt Tackett I didn't know there were 2 hazard counties thanks for the heads up! Just watched the last Justified now not the shoot out to end it like I thought it would be?? Bit lame I thought to be fair! what u think?
Perfect cast, Perfect plot(s), Perfect script(s), Perfect protagonist, Perfect cinematography, Perfect antagonist(s), Perfect editing, Perfect characters, Perfect level of action and pacing.....JUSTIFIED! Hell Yes!

A lot of songs have laid claim to the title of "The perfect country song", and I think this one has a pretty solid case.
This song is a nail in your soul. there is an Harlan in all of us. Amazing show also.
❤absolutly
Patty Loveless does a beautiful rendition of this song, too.
Justified is by far the best Show on TV sad it ended. The cast was truly amazing.
Some of the best television in history. Scott is superb as well.
The more I hear this version, the more I like it the most.
Daryl wrote a masterpiece
I have all seasons and play them till they are grey, love this TV show 👍👍 perfect cast, story and soundtrack 👍👍
Holy hell I love this song! Thank you for sharing.
My mom's side of my family is from Harlan County, Evarts to be exact. I grew up close to there in Virginia and spent a good deal of time in Harlan. I worked in the coal mines for years in Virginia like my father, and his father's father. I have since moved to North Carolina, work in a chemical solvent extraction company. But I always love listening to this song to remind me of the way it was back home. God bless all you coal miners, digging from their grave. It is not an easy life. Take care of yourselves
I actually left Harlan alive lol
Hell no. Cant' change your DNA
My mother and her sister witnessed a murder in Evans during the union wars. She graduated from Evans HS. My father and 2 grandfathers were coal miners. Tracing my bloodlines into the deep dark hills of eastern KY. I love this song.
My dad's side all live there he is one of 13 kids I will live there one again with my family 💕 love Harlan Kentucky 💙
Especially when you got a dink limp president trying to destroy your livelihood for political points.
I loved how when Raylen and Boyd talked to each they spoke as if they were philosophers.
Love this song! Thanks from Norway 🇳🇴
Boyd was the best character I've ever had the pleasure of watching, every time. The conversations we have now are so mundane, text talk..... A wordsmith is a thing of the past....pure poetry American Style..... American Dream❤
Right? Who uses words like alacrity anymore?
I'm a Floyd County refugee, born there and grateful that my dad worked his ass off to get us all out, and this tells our story like nothing else I've ever heard, and it brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. I thank God that I got out of Stone Coal Holler alive! Props to all my relatives and fellow Appalachians, and to all those who've gone down into the ground and dug coal.
I wish they had made about twenty more seasons of Justified.....
I understand the impulse but I do think it was good of them to end the show before it went too long and became hard to end as a complete story.
They were really running low on decent writing the last season or two, and this was most evident with the "gunfighter" in the last season. That was absolute cringe.
No that would of watered it down. Why do people always complain about when a show ends but then when it keeps going it gets boring. Except the Simpsons who always have new material you just can't create a 20 year tv show and have it be any good. Especially when there is gunfights and such. People die early as outlaws. So inn20 years Raylan would have killed every outlaw in Harlan or been killed himself
Why so it could of gotten more watered down? Season 6 was the end for a reason
Me too, or a spin off of Raylans life in Florida, or a spin off of Boyd Crowder. Both would’ve been amazing spin-offs. Or a movie. I’d watch it all
Jimmy: “What do we do now?”
Boyd: “Take a few moments to contemplate the mortal remains of Henry Willis and to thank him for being more useful in death than he ever was in life.”
Jimmy: “You knew this guy?”
Boyd: “Ironically I did. He started drinking at ten got hooked on oxi by the time he was fifteen and that was all she wrote. But we all end up where he is sooner or later.”
Great scene, when they dug the corps up to replace the body of Delroy's, right :p?
May 20 2020. Im here during the dismantling of the USA. These are bad times. No one to bring unity and reassurance. So I’ll retreat into my music. Stay safe all!
And you fill your cup, with whatever bitter brew you"re drinking. WHAT a line.
The picture is so badass. Simple but elegant and fierce.

HAN SHOT FIRST!
I left Harlan Alive...And been back and have made it out each time...WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE...PURE COUNTRY ...I live only 20 miles from HARLAN TO THIS DAY...(even though I know many who didn't leave ...except maybe in a Pine Box....😉
Spirits on the rocks go hand and hand with this music. Having a couple of glasses with the wife at this very moment.
Yes.... I've watched every episode of Justified over and over again, an awesome show, about a uniquely American lifestyle that many of us who were born and raised in the suburbs or cities would never know of or understand unless we had something to show us. The Appalachian Lifestyle the hollers and the mountains, it is a uniquely American invention, like country music and Jazz and I happen to think Timothy Olyphant is a good actor, also. But the first time I heard You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive it gave me chills and I've been listening to songs music of all kinds for almost 50 years. I had to learn the chords and get the lyrics sheet immediately. One of those amazingsongs that comes along every once in a great while.....
This is how American men should be: capable, caring & protective. But not weak or overbearing. It's the way we are in Kentucky.

Remember your ABCs. Always Be Cool. (Boyd Crowder.) Well it might not be cool to cry listening to this song, but I have. More than once. Long live Darrell Scott and Justified !
I miss this show. My father's side of the family is from hollers of Allen County and to see a modern "western" set in the state that half of my roots were from was everything. Raylan Givens was 100%
love this song,my father and all his family are from Harlan.thank you.
"This mix is timeless. I’ve heard this one countless times
Raylan Givens: Well, I suppose if I allow myself to be sentimental, despite all that has occurred, there is one thing I wander back to.
Boyd Crowder: We dug coal together.
Raylan Givens: That's right.
Me: on tears :(
Yo that was such a fitting final dialogue between those two. I finished the series today and it was on hell of a show
Me too. And Raylan Givens was also in tears, maybe the only one moment in the whole series.
I just want a flash back in between :(((((
@@farizafaf me too brotha. it was a really good series. Way underrated :(
Raylan didn't care. I think Boyd saved his life too.
Always thought every season should have ended with this song and a pictorial review of the events from that season. Would be just perfect. Hoping for this at the end of Season 6, the final.
Darrell played the Sheldon Concert Hall in St. Louis last night, sang this while self accompanied on their big Steinway grand piano! Yeah, he's a monster on the keyboard, too. In nearly 50 years of concert going, one of the very best shows I've ever seen.
Wish I had seen it!
Real 1s..
Thanx b 2 the uploaders/artists/& producers that made this happen..
Any1 listenin'.. b blessed🤗✌
A most excellent album by this artist and the original writer of this song,also the best version of this song ever!!Highly recommended!!
As a coal miner who started in Scotland Worked in Australia, And the USA, I love miners, the tough shit they have to go thru every day, and keep going with "Nary" a word of complaint. Unbeatable!!
One of the best shows ever made. Its sad there was only 6 seasons.
"We dug coal together."
dusktildawn48 "Thass right."
Cal1177 i really thought they were going to kiss at the point...
dusktildawn48 HECK YEAH!!!!
dusktildawn48, happy to run into this beautiful and sad song. I'm 56 and from mid west, living west. Nice!!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful story so it is not lost!!!
You are a liar sir!
I lost that song and I tried for so long to find it back but in vain. However, Today that beautiful song was waiting for me in my recommendation and I'm so happy. I'm grateful.
Saw this song in my recommended many times and passed by it for some reason. Today I finally clicked on it and I'm glad I did, this is such a great song!
I've never seen Justified but I love this song. I pass through Harlan when my family goes to Harrogate for decoration, and I recently found out that I'm descended from the Tillie Helton mentioned in this song.
The show is even better than the song. It's amazing, even more so now, after the world has changed so much.
For those who know what happened there and are from Kentucky this song hits diffrent there's just no way to explain it
I love this show and completely love this song!!
Hello 👋 Stacy. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
I am a Kentucky girl who now lives in Canada. When I am feeling homesick I always watch Justified again. It makes me feel better every time
Hope you are able to get back home now and again.
I've just finished this series and this song was a highlight of every season! Soooo good 🤠💚
Such a great show. Timothy Olyphant and Walton Goggins both really made that show great.
one of the best shows in in past 20 years.
I just watched this series out of the kindness of a friend buying it for me. Great show! Why was this at least not a ten season show?
Love this song!!! Watching Justified for the 100th time. This song is the best
Hello how are you doing today?
Loved the song long before the show came along...then, PERFECT pairing. Damn, the song and the show are just hauntingly perfect..
