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 |
