Lyrics:

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.
