| Fare ye well old Ely Branch, fare ye well I say | |
| I'm tired o' livin' on dried beef and tomatoes | |
| And I'm a-goin' away | |
| When we had a strike in Ely this spring, these words ol' Hughes did say | |
| Come along boys go back to work, we'll give you the two weeks' pays | |
| When they put on their mining clothes, hard work again they tried | |
| And when ol' payday rolled around, they found ol' Hughes had lied | |
| So fare ye well old Ely Branch, fare ye well I say | |
| I'm tired o' livin' on dried beef and tomatoes | |
| And I'm a-goin' away | |
| When Hughes thinks his mines was goin' to stop, a sight to see him frown | |
| There's gas enough in old Hughes, to blow these mountains down | |
| Oh take your children outta Ely Branch, before they cry for bread | |
| For when ol' Hughes' debts are paid, he won't be worth a thread | |
| So fare ye well old Ely Branch, fare ye well I say | |
| I'm tired o' livin' on dried beef and tomatoes | |
| And I'm a-goin' away | |
| Now Hughes claims he owns more mines than these, he says he gots money to lend | |
| But when ol' payday rolls around, he can't pay off his men | |
| I'd rather be in Pine Grove jail with my back all covered in lice | |
| Than to be in old Hughes' coal mines, diggin' coal at Hughes' price | |
| I think John Yaeger's a very nice man, he's the same ol' John every day | |
| But a man can't live can't live on dried beef and tomatoes, an' I'm a-goin' away | |
| So fare ye well old Ely Branch, fare ye well I say | |
| I'm tired o' livin' on dried beef and tomatoes | |
| And I'm a-goin' away |
