lyrics

Which side are you on, boys? Which side are you on?

Come all you good workers, good news to you I'll tell!
Of how the good old union has come in here to dwell
Which side are you on, boys? Which side are you on?

My daddy was a miner
And I’m a miner’s son.
And I’ll stick with the union ‘Til every battle’s won.
Which side are you on, boys? Which side are you on?

They say in Harlan County, there are no neutrals there.
You’ll either be a union man or a thug for J.H. Blair.
Which side are you on, boys? Which side are you on?

Oh workers can you stand it? Oh tell me how you can.
Will you be a lousy scab or will you be a man?
Which side are you on, boys? Which side are you on?

Don’t scab for the bosses, Don’t listen to their lies.
Us poor folks haven’t got a chance unless we organize!
Which side are you on, boys? Which side are you on?

Powerful collection rooted in the stories that must be re-told. Played by some of the most generous community music people I’ve met during my foray into Old Time music. This CD is a keeper! Ellen B. (Elly) Marshall
