[Verse 1]
Come out and listen to my story, come and listen to my song
I will tell you of a hero, who's now dead and gone
I will tell you of a young boy, whose age was nineteen
He was the bravest union man that I have ever seen
[Verse 2]
Harry Simms was a pal of mine, we labored side by side
Expectin' to be shot on sight or taken for a ride
By them dirty cold operator gun thugs
That roamed from town to town
A-shootin' down the union men, where e'er they may be found
[Verse 3]
Harry Simms was walkin' down the track, one bright sunshiny day
He was a youth of courage, his step was light and gay
He did not know the gun thugs was hidin' on the way
To kill our brave young comrade the bright sunshiny day
[Verse 4]
Harry Simms was killed on Brush Creek in 1932
He organized the miners into the N-M-U
He gave his life in the struggle, that was all that he could do
He died for the union, also for me and you
