Union, God And Country

(앨범: Ghosts Of West Virginia - 2020)

My daddy was a miner
My daddy's daddy, too
Union, God, and country
Was all they ever knew
They worked from early morning
Till the evening whistle blew
When they'd strike the mine
They'd walk the line
'Cause that's just what you'd do

When you're born in West Virginia
A miner through and through
Union, God, and country
Was all they ever knew

Union, God, and country
West Virginia, gold and blue
Union, God, and country
Was all we ever knew

Before there was a union
The company was king
You'd work your fingers to the bone
Couldn't show a thing
You shifted coal till Friday
Drew your pay, and then
You'd walk down to the company store
And give it back again

That's why they made the union
They had nothing left to lose
Union, God, and country
Was all they ever knew

Union, God, and country
West Virginia, gold and blue
Union, God, and country
Was all we ever knew

Union, God, and country
West Virginia, gold and blue
Union, God, and country
Was all we ever knew
Union, God, and country
West Virginia, gold and blue
Union, God, and country
Was all we ever knew
