Eight Hour Day Lyrics

Eight Hour Day - Pete Seeger

We're brave and gallant miner boys

Who work in underground

For courage and good nature

No finer can be found

We work both late and early

And get but little pay

To support our wives and children

In free Americay

If Satan took the blacklegs

I'm sure t'would bid no sin

What peace and happiness t'would be

For us poor workin' men

Eight hours we'd have for workin'

Eight hours we'd have for play

Eight hours we'd have for sleeping

 

In free Americay
