Come all you poor workers good and you too you I'll tell
How the good old union has come in here to dwell
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
We're starting our good battle. We know we're sure to win
Because we've got the gun thugs are looking very thin
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
If you go to Harlan County
There is no neutral 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?
They say they have to guard us to educate their child
Their children live in luxury our children almost wild
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Gentlemen, can you stand it or tell me how you can?
Will you be a gun thug or will you be a man?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
My daddy was a miner
He's now in the iron sun
He'll be with you fellow workers till every battle won. Which side are you on?
Which side are you on? Now all of you know which side you're on and they'll never keep us down
