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 J.H. 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.
