Pete Seeger - Miners Lifeguard lyrics
Your rating:
Miner's life is like a sailor's 'Board a ship to cross the wave Every day his life's in danger Still he ventures being brave Watch the rocks, they're falling daily Careless miners always fail Keep your hands upon the dollar And your eyes upon the scale(s) Union miners, stand together Heed no operator's tale Keep your hands upon the dollar And your eyes upon the scale(s) Soon this trouble will be ended, Union men will have their rights, After many years of bondage, Digging days and digging nights. Then by honest weight we labor, Union miners never fail; Keep your hand upon the dollar And your eyes upon the scale(s). Let no union men be weakened By newspapers' false reports; Be like sailors on the ocean, Trusting in their safe lifeboats. Let your lifeboat be Jehovah Those who trust Him never fail. Keep your hand upon the dollar And your eyes upon the scale(s). You've been docked and docked, my boys You've been loading two for one What have you to show for working Since this mining has begun? Overalls, and cans for rockers In your shanties sleep on rails Keep your hand upon the dollar And your eyes upon the scale(s) Union miners, stand together Heed no operator's tale Keep your hands upon the dollar And your eyes upon the scale(s) In conclusion, bear in memory Keep the password in your mind God provides for every nation When in union they combine Stand like men and linked together Victory for you will prevail Keep your hand upon the dollar And your eyes upon the scale(s) Union miners, stand together Heed no operator's tale Keep your hands upon the dollar And your eyes upon the scale(s) Union miners, stand together Heed no operator's tale Keep your hands upon the dollar And your eyes upon the scale(s)
