My children are seven in number[00:00:00]

We have to sleep four in a bed[00:00:05]

I'm striking with my fellow workers[00:00:10]

To get them more clothes and more bread[00:00:15]

Shoes, shoes, we're striking for pairs of shoes[00:00:20]

Shoes, shoes, we're striking for pairs of shoes[00:00:29]

Pellagra is cramping my stomach[00:00:39]

My wife is sick with TB[00:00:43]

My babies are starving for sweet milk[00:00:48]

Oh there's so much sickness for me[00:00:52]

Milk, milk, we're striking for gallons of milk[00:00:58]

Milk, milk, we're striking for gallons of milk[00:01:07]

I'm needing a shave and a haircut[00:01:15]

But barbers I cannot afford[00:01:20]

My wife cannot wash without soapsuds[00:01:24]

And she had to borrow a board[00:01:28]

Soap, soap, we're striking for bars of soap[00:01:33]

Soap, soap, we're striking for bars of soap[00:01:42]

My house is a shack on the hillside[00:01:51]

It's floors are unpainted and bare[00:01:56]

I haven't a screen to my windows[00:02:00]

And carbide cans do for a chair[00:02:05]

Homes, homes, we're striking for better homes[00:02:10]

Homes, homes, we're striking for better homes[00:02:19]

They shot Barney Graham our leader[00:02:28]

His spirit abides with us still[00:02:33]

The spirit of strength for justice[00:02:38]

No bullets have power to kill[00:02:42]

Barney, Barney, we're thinking of you today[00:02:48]

Barney, Barney, we're thinking of you today[00:02:56]

Oh miners go on with the union[00:03:04]

Oh miners go on with the fight[00:03:09]

For we're in the struggle for justice[00:03:14]

And we're in the struggle for right[00:03:18]

Justice, justice, we're striking for justice for all[00:03:23]

Justice, justice, we're striking for justice for all[00:03:33]
