Miner's Life (Union Miners)

Miner's life is like a sailor's, 'Board a ship to cross the wave. Everyday his life's in danger; Still he ventures, being brave. Watch the rocks, they're falling daily! Careless miners always fail. Keep your hand upon the dollar And your eye upon the scale! Union miners, stand together! Heed no operator's tale! Keep your hand upon the dollar And your eye upon the scale! You've been docked and docked again, boys. You've been loading two for one. What have you to show for working, Since this mining has begun? Just worn-out boots and worn-out miners And your children growing pale. Keep your hand upon the dollar And your eye upon the scale! Union miners, stand together... In conclusion, bear in memory, Keep this password in your mind: God provides for every worker, When in union they combine. Then by honest weights we labor, Union miners will prevail. So keep your hand upon the dollar And your eye upon the scale! Union miners, stand together... Keep your hand upon the dollar And your eye upon the scale!
