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]
