| Lyrics: | DOWN ON THE PICKET LINE
(Sarah Ogan Gunning)
Come on, friends, and let's go
down,
Let's go down, let's go down,
Come on, friends, and let's go down,
Down on the
picket line.
As we went down on the picket line
To keep the scabs out of the
mine,
Who's a-going to win the strike,
Come on and we'll show you the way.
We
went out one morning before daylight
And I was sure we'd have a fight,
But the scabs was
cowardly, ran away,
But we went back the very next day.
Come on, friends and let's
go down,
Let's go down, let's go down,
Come on, friends, and let's go down,
Down on
the picket line.
As we went down on the picket line
To keep the scabs out of the
mine,
who's a-going to win the fight,
Come or, and we'll show you the way.
We
all went out on the railroad track
To meet them scabs and turn them back,
We win that
strike I'm glad to say,
Come on, and we'll show you the way.
