DOWN ON THE PICKET LINE
(Sarah Ogan Gunning)

Come on, friends, and let's go down,
Let's go down, let's go down,
Come on, friends, and let's go down,
Down on the picket line

As we went down on the picket line
To keep the scabs out of the mine,
Who's a-going to win the strike,
Come on and we'll show you the way

We went out one morning before daylight
And I was sure we'd have a fight,
But the scabs was cowardly, ran away,
But we went back the very next day

Come on, friends and let's go down,
Let's go down, let's go down,
Come on, friends, and let's go down,
Down on the picket line

As we went down on the picket line
To keep the scabs out of the mine,
who's a-going to win the fight,
Come or, and we'll show you the way

We all went out on the railroad track
To meet them scabs and turn them back,
We win that strike I'm glad to say,
Come on, and we'll show you the way
