Pete Seeger - Come All You Hardy Miners lyrics

Come all ya hardy miners and help us sing this song Sung by some union men four hundred thousand strong With John White our general, we'll fight without a gun He'll lead us on to victory and sixty cents a ton Come all ye hardy miners and help us sing this song On the twenty-first day of April, we struck for sixty cents a ton The operators laughed at us and said we'd never come All out in one body and a man, that's sixty cents a ton Come out ya scabs an' blacklegs and join the men like one Tell them that that you're in the fight, for the sixty cents a ton They're now in ol' Virginny, they're scabbin' right along But when we win they're sure to try for the sixty cents a ton Come all ye hardy miners let's try to do our best We'll first get ol' Virginny, Kentucky an' then we'll get a rest There's gonna be a meeting right here in this land When we reach across the river and take them by the hand Come all ye hardy miners and help us sing this song Sung by some honest union men four hundred thousand strong With John White our general, we'll fight without a gun He'll lead us on to victory and sixty cents a ton
