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

He's now in the air and sun
He'll be with you fellow workers
Until the 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. Claire


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
Poor folks ain't got a chance
Unless they organize


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