Come, all you coalminers
Wherever you may be

Verse 2
Dm
I was born in old Kentucky
In a coal camp, born and bred

For a dollar in the company store

For that is all they pay
Verse 3

Mining is the most dangerous work
In our land today
Plenty of dirty, slaving work
For very little pay
Coalminers, won't you wake up

And open your eyes and see

What this dirty capitalist system
A

Has done to you and me
Verse 4
Dear miners, they will slave you
Until you can't work no more
And what will you get for your labor but a dollar
in the company store
A tumbledown shack to live in

Snow and rain pouring through the top and you have to pay
A
Dm
the company rent and your payments will never stop
Verse 5

They take our very lifeblood
They take our children's lives
Take fathers away

Take husbands away from wives

Wherever you may be

And make this a land of freedom

For workers, like you and me

To the darkest pits of hell
