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

Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?

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

Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?

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

Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?

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

Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?

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

Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
