| [00:06.213] | 1921 was the year |
| [00:09.519] | Seems like yesterday to me |
| [00:12.987] | Let me tell you about what happened then |
| [00:16.351] | Back in the mine country |
| [00:19.774] | We were fightin’ hard to build a union |
| [00:23.081] | ‘Cause at forty cents a ton |
| [00:26.569] | There was no way to feed a family |
| [00:29.917] | When the minin’ day was done |
| [00:33.222] | |
| [00:35.029] | The strike had lasted for a year |
| [00:38.444] | When they shot down Smilin’ Sid |
| [00:42.012] | He was a lawman who stood up for us miners |
| [00:45.459] | That’s the only crime he ever did |
| [00:48.774] | A hundred miners locked up with no trial |
| [00:53.357] | There in Mingo-town |
| [00:55.993] | But the last straw came in Sharples |
| [00:59.244] | When they gunned the women down |
| [01:03.273] | |
| [01:04.605] | Now we’re marchin’ on to Mingo |
| [01:07.868] | Ten thousand men and countin’ |
| [01:11.452] | Here in the hills of West Virginia |
| [01:17.736] | At the Battle of Blair Mountain |
| [01:20.459] | |
| [01:25.296] | We shouted through the hillsides |
| [01:28.479] | In every union hall |
| [01:32.149] | We’re marchin’ on to Mingo |
| [01:35.456] | Teach them a lesson, once and all |
| [01:39.581] | Commandeered every freight train |
| [01:42.163] | To the Kentucky line |
| [01:45.538] | Took every car that crossed our path |
| [01:49.204] | And all the guns and ammo we could find |
| [01:52.901] | |
| [01:54.032] | The union leaders tried to stop us |
| [01:57.445] | Mother Jones told us to turn back |
| [02:00.740] | But we had learned ourselves from the gun thugs |
| [02:04.247] | There’s a time to talk and a time to attack |
| [02:07.854] | We had no leader, we didn’t need one |
| [02:11.772] | We all knew the way through Logan County |
| [02:14.739] | And we all knew once we got there |
| [02:17.853] | We’re gonna hang Sheriff Chapin from a sour apple tree |
| [02:22.727] | |
| [02:23.183] | We’re marchin’ on to Mingo |
| [02:26.267] | Ten thousand men and countin’ |
| [02:29.861] | Here in the hills of West Virginia |
| [02:35.921] | At the Battle of Blair Mountain |
| [02:39.137] | |
| [02:43.586] | For three days and nights we fought them |
| [02:47.161] | The front was ten miles wide |
| [02:50.502] | Every cop and scab in West Virginia |
| [02:53.950] | Was there on the other side |
| [02:57.386] | They dropped explosives from their airplanes |
| [03:00.850] | Such a thing you never saw |
| [03:04.280] | They shot us with machine guns |
| [03:07.569] | It was the operator’s law |
| [03:11.556] | |
| [03:12.876] | We dug trenches and wore helmets |
| [03:16.087] | That we brought from the Argonne |
| [03:19.706] | All the way from France to Logan |
| [03:23.041] | We fought from dusk to dawn |
| [03:26.636] | President Harding sent in the Army |
| [03:29.841] | And we left our line to them |
| [03:33.371] | But the hills of West Virginia |
| [03:36.944] | Will long remember when |
| [03:40.649] | |
| [03:42.042] | We were marchin’ on to Mingo |
| [03:45.376] | Ten thousand men and countin’ |
| [03:48.830] | Here in the hills of West Virginia |
| [03:55.075] | At the Battle of Blair Mountain |
