Lyrics :
Our father was a union man
some day i'll be one too.
The bosses fired daddy
what'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? (x2)

My dady 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?

Don't scab for the bosses,
Don't listen to their lies.
Us poor folks haven't got a chance
Unless we organize !

I am glad to see Unions getting support. However, give credit where credit is actually due. "Drop Kick Murphys" did not write this song Woody Guthrie did. A staunch Union supporter. If it was not for the Unions there would be no 40 hr work week,workers compensation, or even overtime. It is said history repeats itself. Well,Folks i guess the proof is before us now. Stand up and be heard,Support your local union, or it will be "Big Bossman" all over again.
