A Miner's Life
A miner's life is like a sailor's
Aboard a ship to cross the waves
Every day his life' is in danger
Still he ventures, being brave
Watch the rocks, they're falling daily
Careless miners always fail
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
Union miners, stand together
Do not heed the owner's tale
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
You've been docked and docked again, boys
You've been loading three for one
What have you to show for your working
Since your mining days have begun?
Worn out shoes and worn miners
Blackened lungs and faces pale
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
Union miners, stand together
Do not heed the owner's tale
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
In conclusion, bear in memory
Keep the password in your mind
Worker's strength cannot be broken
When in union we combine
Stand up tall and stand together
Victory, we shall prevail
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
Union miners, stand together
Do not heed the owner's tale
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
Union miners, stand together
Do not heed the owner's tale
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
Union miners
Stand together
Aboard a ship to cross the waves
Every day his life' is in danger
Still he ventures, being brave
Watch the rocks, they're falling daily
Careless miners always fail
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
Union miners, stand together
Do not heed the owner's tale
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
You've been docked and docked again, boys
You've been loading three for one
What have you to show for your working
Since your mining days have begun?
Worn out shoes and worn miners
Blackened lungs and faces pale
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
Union miners, stand together
Do not heed the owner's tale
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
In conclusion, bear in memory
Keep the password in your mind
Worker's strength cannot be broken
When in union we combine
Stand up tall and stand together
Victory, we shall prevail
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
Union miners, stand together
Do not heed the owner's tale
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
Union miners, stand together
Do not heed the owner's tale
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
Union miners
Stand together
