[Verse 1]
Come all of you good workers
Good news to you I'll tell
Of how the good ol' union
Has come in here to dwell
[Chorus]
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
[Verse 2]
My daddy was a miner
And I'm a miner's son
And I'll stick with the union
'Til every battle's won
[Chorus]
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
[Verse 3]
They say in Harlan County
There are no neutrals there
You'll either be a union man
Or a thug for J. H. Blair
Come all of you good workers
Good news to you I'll tell
Of how the good ol' union
Has come in here to dwell
[Chorus]
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
[Verse 2]
My daddy was a miner
And I'm a miner's son
And I'll stick with the union
'Til every battle's won
[Chorus]
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
[Verse 3]
They say in Harlan County
There are no neutrals there
You'll either be a union man
Or a thug for J. H. Blair
