Our father was a union man some day i'll be one too.
The bosses fired daddy what's our family gonna do? [bad word] all you good workers good news to you
I'll tell of how the good old union [bad word] in here to dewll.

 [bad word] 
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?

My daddy was miner and I'm a miner's son
and I'll stick with the union 'til every battles done.

They say in Marlan County there are no neutrals there
you'll either be a union man or a thug for J.H. Blair

Oh workers can you stand it?
Oh tell me how you can will you be a lousy scab or will you be a man?
Don't scab for the bosses don't listen to their lies
us poor folks haven't got a chance unless we organize.
