1
Come all you coal miners wherever you may be
2
And listen to a story that I'll relate to thee
3
My name is nothin' extra but the truth to you I'll tell
4
I am a coal miner's wife, I'm sure l wish you well
5
Coal minin' is the most dangerous work in our land today
6
With plenty of dirty slavin' work and very little pay
7
Coal miner won't you wake up and open your eyes and see
8
What the dirty capitalist system is doin' to you and me
9
They take your very life blood, they take our children's lives
10
Take fathers away from children and husbands away from wives
11
Oh miner, won't you organize wherever you may be
12
And make this a land of freedom for workers like you and me
13
Dear miner, they will slave you 'til you can't work no more
14
And what'll you get for your living but a dollar in a company store
15
A tumbled-down shack to live in, snow and rain pours in the top
16
You have to pay the company rent, your payin' never stops
17
I am a coal miner's wife, I'm sure l wish you well
18
Let's sink this capitalist system in the darkest pits of hell
