1. Not good

are you for the union, or are you a dirty scab? Which side are you on, boy, which side are you on? (Lyrics from a union song)

[blindpig]

3. Which side are you on?

Come all you good workers,
Good news to you I'll tell
Of how the good old union
Has come in here to dwell.

CHORUS:
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?

My dady was a miner,
And I'm a miner's son,
And I'll stick with the union
'Til every battle's won.

They say in Harlan County
There are no neutrals there.
You'll either be a union man
Or a thug for J. H. Blair.

Oh workers can you stand it?
Oh tell me how you can?
Will you be a lousy scab
Or will you be a man?

Don't scab for the bosses,
Don't listen to their lies.
Us poor folks haven't got a chance
Unless we organize.

4. Thanks for the full lyrics

I've been known to serenade those on picket lines and its good to know all the lyrics. I like "The Union Maid" and "Hold the Fort" as well.
