| 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? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? My dady 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? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? 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? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? 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? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? 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? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? | WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON? Come all of you good people You women and you men Once more our backs are to the wall We're being attacked again Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? We've fought a million battles To defend our hard-won rights We're going to have to fight again And I ask you here tonight Thatcher sent MacGregor To smash the NUM And break the workers' unity And I ask you once again Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? The Tories rant and tear their hair And shout 'democracy' But the kind the Tories have in mind Is not for you or me Their screaming about ballots Is pure hypocrisy If they care so much for ballots What about the GLC? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? By bully boys in uniforms And thugs with riot shields Our comrades' blood is being shed But still they will not yield It's time for a decision And you really have to choose Support the miners' struggle Or the next in line is you Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? |
