Which side are you on? Song |
|
2 Sets of Lyrics:
First a union song, the second adapted by Arlo Guthrie
Which Side Are You On? NATALIE MERCHANT
Come all you good workers Good news to you I'll tell Of how the good old union Has come in here to dwell
Which side are you on boys? Which side are you on?
My daddy was a miner He's now in the air and sun He'll be with you fellow workers Until the battle's won
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. Claire
Which side are you on boys? 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 boys? Which side are you on?
Don't scab for the bosses Don't listen to their lies Poor folks ain't got a chance Unless they organize
Which side are you on boys? Which side are you on?
Which Side by Arlo Guthrie
There's trouble all around the world Well, it looks that way to me People don't know what to do They don't know where they should be
But just one question still remains To which we must respond Two roads lead from where we are Which side are you on
CHORUS: Are you on, boys Which side are you on Which side are you on, boys Which side are you on
Moses crossed the desert With a band of weary men For forty years they wandered through The hot and burning sand
And Moses went and prayed alone The weary vagabond And lightning wrote these words in stone Which side are you on
CHORUS
Jesus stumbling through the streets On the road to Calvary Nailed high to testify With other local thieves
And as they hung there dying One asked what lay beyond That all depends the master said Which side are you on
CHORUS
Some men work for little things And some men work for more Some men work for anything And some don't work at all
And me mysef I'm satisfied To sing for God's own son And ask you what I ask myself Which side are you on
