Come All You Coal Miners
Lyricist:Sarah Ogan Gunning
Come all you coal miners wherever you may be And listen to a story that I'll relate to thee My name is nothin' extra but the truth to you I'll tell I am a coal miner's wife, I'm sure l wish you well
Coal minin' is the most dangerous work in our land today With plenty of dirty slavin' work and very little pay Coal miner won't you wake up and open your eyes and see What the dirty capitalist system is doin' to you and me
They take your very life blood, they take our children's lives Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Take fathers away from children and husbands away from wives Oh miner, won't you organize wherever you may be And make this a land of freedom for workers like you and me
Dear miner, they will slave you 'til you can't work no more And what'll you get for your living but a dollar in a company store A tumbled-down shack to live in, snow and rain pours in the top You have to pay the company rent, your payin' never stops
I am a coal miner's wife, I'm sure l wish you well Let's sink this capitalist system in the darkest pits of hell
