Come All You Hardy Miners Lyrics

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
