| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Miners Lifeguard | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 237 | | | | Lyrics: | Miner's Lifeguard
Miner's life is like a sailor's.
'Board a ship to cross the
waves.
Ev'ry day his life's in danger,
Still he ventures being brave.
Watch the
rocks, they're falling daily.
Careless miners always fail.
Keep your hand upon the
dollar
And your eye upon the scale.
cho: Union miners stand together,
Heed
no operator's tale,
Keep your hand upon the dollar,
And your eye upon the
scale.
Soon this trouble will be ended,
Union men will have their rights.
After
many years of bondage
Digging days and digging nights;
Then by honest weight we
labor
Union workers never fail.
Keep your hand upon the dollar
And your eye upon the
scale.
Let no union man be weakened
By newspapers' false reports,
Be like
sailors on the ocean
Trusting in their safe lifeboats.
Let your lifeboat be
Jehovah
Those who trust Him never fail.
Keep your hand upon the dollar
And your eye
upon the scale.
You've been docked and docked, my boys,
You've been loading two to
one;
What have you to show for working
Since this mining has begun?
Overalls and cans
for rockers,
In your shanties, sleep on rails.
Keep your hand upon the dollar
And
your eye upon the scale.
In conclusion, bear in memory,
Keep the password in your
mind:
God provides for every nation
When in union they combine.
Stand like men and
linked together,
Victory for you'll prevail,
Keep your hand upon the dollar
And your
eye upon the scale.
Note: an 1890ish parody on Life is Like a Mountain Railway, ca.
1870
