Come All You Hardy Miners |
Come all ya hardy miners and help us sing this song |
Sung by some union men four hundred thousand strong |
With John White our general, we’ll fight without a gun |
He’ll lead us on to victory and sixty cents a ton |
Come all ye hardy miners and help us sing this song |
On the twenty-first day of April, we struck for sixty cents a ton |
The operators laughed at us and said we’d never come |
All out in one body and a man, that’s sixty cents a ton |
Come out ya scabs an' blacklegs and join the men like one |
Tell them that that you’re in the fight, for the sixty cents a ton |
They’re now in ol' Virginny, they’re scabbin' right along |
But when we win they’re sure to try for the sixty cents a ton |
Come all ye hardy miners let’s try to do our best |
We’ll first get ol' Virginny, Kentucky an' then we’ll get a rest |
There’s gonna be a meeting right here in this land |
When we reach across the river and take them by the hand |
Come all ye hardy miners and help us sing this song |
Sung by some honest union men four hundred thousand strong |
With John White our general, we’ll fight without a gun |
He’ll lead us on to victory and sixty cents a ton |
