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
