Lyrics for Which Side Are You On?

Come all of you good workers

Good news to you I'll tell

Of how the good ol' union

Has come in here to dwell

[Chorus]

Which side are you on?

Which side are you on?

[Verse 2]

My daddy was a miner

And I'm a miner's son

And I'll stick with the union

'Til every battle's won

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

They say in Harlan County

There are no neutrals there

You'll either be a union man

Or a thug for J. H. Blair

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]

Oh workers can you stand it?

Oh tell me how you can

Will you be a lousy scab

Or will you be a man?

[Chorus]

[Verse 5]

Don't scab for the bosses

Don't listen to their lies

Us poor folks haven't got a chance

Unless we organize

[Chorus]
