The Weavers - Miner's Life lyrics

Miner's life is like a sailor's 'Board a ship to cross the wave Everyday, his life's in danger Still he ventures, being brave Watch the rocks, they're falling daily Careless miners always fail Keep your hand upon the dollar And your eye upon the scale Union miners stand together Heed no operator's tale Keep your hand upon the dollar And your eye upon the scale You've been docked and docked again, boys You've been loading two for one What have you to show for working Since this mining has begun? Just worn-out boots and worn-out miners And your children growing pale Keep your hand upon the dollar And your eye upon the scale Union miners stand together Heed no operator's tale Keep your hand upon the dollar And your eye upon the scale In conclusion, bear in memory Keep this pa**word in your mind God provides for every worker When in union, they combine Then by honest weight, we labor Union miners will prevail So keep your hand upon the dollar And your eye upon the scale Union miners stand together Heed no operator's tale Keep your hand upon the dollar And your eye upon the scale Keep your hand upon the dollar And your eye upon the scale
