Which Side Are You On?

Come all you poor workers

Good news to you I'll tell

How that good old union

Has come in here to dwell

Which side are you on?

Which side are you on?

We're starting our good battle

We know we're sure to win

Because we've got the gun

Thugs are looking very thin

Which side are you on?

Which side are you on?

You go to Harlan County

There is no neutral 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?

They say they have to guard us

To educate their child

Their children live in luxury

Our children almost wild

Which side are you on?

Which side are you on?

Gentlemen, can you stand it?

Oh, tell me how you can

Will you be a gun thug or will you be a man?

Which side are you on?

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

'Til every battle's won

Which side are you on?

Which side are you on?

Now all of you know which side you're on

And they'll never keep us down
