《Union Man》歌词

[00:00:00] Union Man - Blue Highway

[00:00:08] A short life of trouble

[00:00:11] In a dark and dusty mine

[00:00:15] Has been my occupation

[00:00:19] Now I walk the picket line

[00:00:23] I was down in bloody Harlan

[00:00:27] When they tried to organize

[00:00:31] The miners faced starvation

[00:00:35] You could see it in their eyes

[00:00:47] The company hired some gun thugs

[00:00:50] Many miners died it's said

[00:00:54] They'd come to kill the Union

[00:00:58] But they lost their lives instead

[00:01:02] Which side are you on boys

[00:01:04] Which side are you on

[00:01:06] You're either for the rich man

[00:01:08] Or the Union standing strong

[00:01:25] I came to New York City

[00:01:28] In the year of 43

[00:01:32] We were fighting Hitler's armies

[00:01:36] In the war across the sea

[00:01:40] But they would not hire a miner

[00:01:44] To do a workman's job

[00:01:48] At fifteen cents an hour

[00:01:52] Your pockets they will rob

[00:01:56] Which side are you on boys

[00:01:58] Which side are you on

[00:02:00] You're either for the rich man

[00:02:02] Or the Union standing strong

[00:02:19] I'll never trust a rich man

[00:02:23] As long as I draw breath

[00:02:27] To keep his quickest mine mansion

[00:02:31] He'll starve your childs to death

[00:02:35] And when my life is over

[00:02:39] Don't mourn my passing long

[00:02:43] Organize resistance

[00:02:47] And keep the Union strong

[00:03:07] So here's to every miner

[00:03:11] Who dared to take a stand

[00:03:15] Who lived to feed his family

[00:03:18] And died a Union man
