Miner's Lifeguard

Miner's life is like a sailor's Board a ship to cross the waves Every day his life's in danger Still he ventures being brave Watch those rocks, they're falling daily Careless miners always fail Keep your hand upon your wages And your eye upon the scale Union miners, stand together Do not heed the owner's tale Keep your hand upon your wages 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 your mining day is done? Worn out boots and worn out miners Lungs of stone and children pale Keep your hand upon your wages And your eye upon the scale Union miners, stand together Do not heed the owner's tale Keep your hand upon your wages And your eye upon the scale In conclusion, bear in memory Keep this password in your mind Workers' strength cannot be broken When in union we combine Stand up all and stand together Victory shall for you prevail Keep your hand upon your wages And your eye upon the scale Union miners, stand together Do not heed the owner's tale Keep your hand upon your wages And your eye upon the scale Union miners, stand together Do not heed the owner's tale Keep your hand upon your wages And your eye upon the scale Keep your hand upon your wages And your eye upon the scale
