Labor Day
Factories
Fields
Mining
Come all of you good workers,
Good news to you I’ll tell
Of how the good old union
Has come in here to dwell.
My daddy was a miner
And I’m a miner’s son,
And I’ll stick with the union
‘Til every battle’s won.
They say 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 you stand it?
Oh tell me how you can.
Will you be a lousy scab
Or will you be a man?
Just a reminder what we’re celebrating today.
