Strike - Ry Cooder[00:00:01]
Well I got off the train one evening in a little mining town[00:00:20]
I started walking up the main street when the sun was going down[00:00:31]
When I heard some voices singing[00:00:43]
So I went to see what for[00:00:49]
Might just be a birthday party[00:00:55]
And it might be room for just one more[00:01:00]
But it was miners and their families[00:01:09]
They had left the mine that day[00:01:15]
Walked out for safe conditions[00:01:21]
On strike for decent pay[00:01:26]
And they sang about their struggle[00:01:32]
And their spirit never failed[00:01:38]
Keep your hand upon the dollar and your eye upon the scale[00:01:43]
Union miners stand together[00:01:55]
Heed no operator's tale[00:02:01]
Keep your hand upon the dollar and your eye upon the scale[00:02:06]
All at once police came running[00:02:23]
They came running everywhere[00:02:29]
They broke up that miner's meeting[00:02:34]
And they carried everyone to jail[00:02:40]
But the miners kept on singing and they sang the whole night through[00:02:46]
When the sun rose in the morning I had learned that miners song[00:02:57]
Now the judge he asked the police captain[00:03:11]
What's that red cat doin' here[00:03:17]
Get all the reds off the streets[00:03:22]
Sir was your orders loud and clear[00:03:27]
Now they turned me out of the jailhouse back door[00:03:34]
But I wouldn't leave my miner friends[00:03:39]
I jumped back to that jailhouse winder and I sang that miner songs again[00:03:45]
Union miners stand together[00:03:57]
Heed no operator's tale[00:04:02]
Keep your hand upon the dollar and your eye upon the scale[00:04:08]
