Union Man - Blue Highway[00:00:00]

A short life of trouble[00:00:08]

In a dark and dusty mine[00:00:11]

Has been my occupation[00:00:15]

Now I walk the picket line[00:00:19]

I was down in bloody Harlan[00:00:23]

When they tried to organize[00:00:27]

The miners faced starvation[00:00:31]

You could see it in their eyes[00:00:35]

The company hired some gun thugs[00:00:47]

Many miners died it's said[00:00:50]

They'd come to kill the Union[00:00:54]

But they lost their lives instead[00:00:58]

Which side are you on boys[00:01:02]

Which side are you on[00:01:04]

You're either for the rich man[00:01:06]

Or the Union standing strong[00:01:08]

I came to New York City[00:01:25]

In the year of 43[00:01:28]

We were fighting Hitler's armies[00:01:32]

In the war across the sea[00:01:36]

But they would not hire a miner[00:01:40]

To do a workman's job[00:01:44]

At fifteen cents an hour[00:01:48]

Your pockets they will rob[00:01:52]

Which side are you on boys[00:01:56]

Which side are you on[00:01:58]

You're either for the rich man[00:02:00]

Or the Union standing strong[00:02:02]

I'll never trust a rich man[00:02:19]

As long as I draw breath[00:02:23]

To keep his quickest mine mansion[00:02:27]

He'll starve your childs to death[00:02:31]

And when my life is over[00:02:35]

Don't mourn my passing long[00:02:39]

Organize resistance[00:02:43]

And keep the Union strong[00:02:47]

So here's to every miner[00:03:07]

Who dared to take a stand[00:03:11]

Who lived to feed his family[00:03:15]

And died a Union man[00:03:18]
