Which Side Are You On?

by Florence Reece

Come all of you good workers
Good news I have to tell.
Of how the good old union
has come in here to dwell.

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?

They say in Harlan Co.
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?

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?

My daddy 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?

My daddy was a miner,
He's in the air and sun
But he'll stick with the Union
'Til every battle's won.

Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
