a union man or a thug for J.H. Blair."

"My daddy was a miner and I'm a miner's son and I'll stick with the union
till every battle's won."

"Oh workers can stand it? Oh tell me how you can! Will you be a lousy
scab or will you be a man? Which side are you on? Which side are you on?"

Excerpts above. Written by a miner's wife and sung for the first time by
his two young children at a strike rally.

Harlan County or Paris -- one struggle, one fight.
