Our father was a union man
Some day i'll be one,too
The bosses fired daddy,
Waht's our family gonna do?
Come all you good workers
Good news to you i'll tell
Of how the good old union
Has come in here to dwell
Chorus:
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
My daddy was a miner
And i'm a miner's son
And i'll stick with the union
'til every battles won
They saw in harlan county
There are no neutrals there
You'll either be a union man
Or a thug for j.h. blair
Oh workers, can stand it?
Oh tell how you can
Will you be a lousy scab
Or will you be a man?
Don't scrab for the bosses
Don't listen to their lies
Us poor folks haven't got a chance
Unless we organize
