Our father was a union man some day i'll be one too
The bosses fired daddy what's our family gonna do?
Come all you good workers good news to you
I'll tell of how the good old union has come in here to dewll
Chorus:
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
My daddy was miner and I'm a miner's son
And I'll stick with the union 'til every battles done
They say in Marlan County there are no neutrals there
You'll either be a union man or a thug for JH Blair
Oh workers can you stand it?
Oh tell me how you can will you be a lousy scab or will you be a man?
Don't scab for the bosses don't listen to their lies
Us poor folks haven't got a chance unless we organize
