Come ALL of you good workers
Good news to you I’ll tell
Of how that good old union
Has come in here to dwell
[Chorus]
Which side are you on? [x4]
My daddy was a miner
And I’m a miner’s son
And I’ll stick with the union
Till every battle’s won … Chorus
They say in Harlan County
There are no neutrals there
You’ll either be a union man
Or a thug for J.H. Blair … Chorus
Oh, workers can you stand it?
Oh, tell me how you can
Will you be a lousy scab
Or will you be a man? … Chorus
Don’t scab for the bosses
Don’t listen to their lies
Us poor folks haven’t got a chance
Unless we organize … Chorus
My parents both were fighters
And I’m a fighter too
And I’ll stick with justice
’Cause that’s what fighters do … Chorus
We say in this great country
There is democracy
You’ll either be for justice
Or a thug for tyranny … Chorus
Oh, Avelo can you stand it?
Oh, tell me how you can
Will you be a lousy scab
Or will you take a stand? … Chorus
Don’t scab for the bosses
You can save some lives
Us common folks don’t have a chance
Unless we organize … Chorus
Avelo was an airline, But their soul they did sell
They shackle up their passengers,
And fly them straight to hell … Chorus
You say that you’re not fascist
But check your bottom line
If you’re profiteering
You’re committing a war crime
