[Intro]
Here's a song about Hazard, Kentucky
[Verse 1]
Well, some people think that unions are too strong
Union leaders should go back where they belong
But I wish that they could see a little more of poverty
And they might start to sing a different song
[Verse 2]
Well, let's look at old Kentucky for a while
It is hard to find a miner who will smile
Well, the Constitution's fine, but it's hard reading in the mines
And when welfare stops, the trouble starts to pile
[Chorus]
Well, minin' is a hazard in Hazard, Kentucky
And if you ain't minin' there
Well, my friends, you're awful lucky
'Cause if you don't get silicosis or pay that's just atrocious
You'll be screamin' for a union that will care
[Verse 3]
Well, the Depression was ended with the war
But nobody told Kentucky, that is sure
Some are living in a sewer while the jobs are gettin' fewer
But more coal is mined than ever was before
