Which side are you on




Which side are you on 
Written by Florence Reese, wife of a coal miner in Harlan County, Kentucky, 
in 1931
Sung by Pete Seeger
Which side are you on boys?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on boys?
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 boys?
Which side are you on? tell me!
Which side are you on boys?
Which side are you on?
My daddy was a miner,
And I’m a miner’s son,
He’ll be with you fellow workers
Until this battle’s won, tell me!
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
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? tell me!
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Come all you good workers,
Good news to you I’ll tell
Of how the good old union
Has come in here to dwell, tell me!
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on? tell me!
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
