Come All You Hardy Miners

Come All You Hardy Miners - Pete Seeger

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
