Come All You Hardy Miners

Come all ya hardy miners and
Help us sing this song
Sung by some union men
Four hundred thousand strong
With John White our general
We'll fight without a gun
He'll lead us on to victory
And sixty cents a ton

Come all ye hardy miners and
Help us sing this song
On the twenty-first day of April
We struck for sixty cents a ton
The operators laughed at us and
Said we'd never come
All out in one body and a man
That's sixty cents a ton

Come out ya scabs an' blacklegs and
Join the men like one
Tell them that that you're in the fight
For the sixty cents a ton
They're now in ol' Virginny
They're scabbin' right along
But when we win they're sure to try
For the sixty cents a ton
Come all ye hardy miners let's
Try to do our best
We'll first get ol' Virginny
Kentucky an' then we'll get a rest
There's gonna be a meeting right
Here in this land
When we reach across the river and
Take them by the hand

Come all ye hardy miners and
Help us sing this song
Sung by some honest union men
Four hundred thousand strong
With John White our general
We'll fight without a gun
He'll lead us on to victory
And sixty cents a ton
