[00:06.213]1921 was the year
[00:09.519]Seems like yesterday to me
[00:12.987]Let me tell you about what happened then
[00:16.351]Back in the mine country
[00:19.774]We were fightin’ hard to build a union
[00:23.081]‘Cause at forty cents a ton
[00:26.569]There was no way to feed a family
[00:29.917]When the minin’ day was done
[00:33.222]
[00:35.029]The strike had lasted for a year
[00:38.444]When they shot down Smilin’ Sid
[00:42.012]He was a lawman who stood up for us miners
[00:45.459]That’s the only crime he ever did
[00:48.774]A hundred miners locked up with no trial
[00:53.357]There in Mingo-town
[00:55.993]But the last straw came in Sharples
[00:59.244]When they gunned the women down
[01:03.273]
[01:04.605]Now we’re marchin’ on to Mingo
[01:07.868]Ten thousand men and countin’
[01:11.452]Here in the hills of West Virginia
[01:17.736]At the Battle of Blair Mountain
[01:20.459]
[01:25.296]We shouted through the hillsides
[01:28.479]In every union hall
[01:32.149]We’re marchin’ on to Mingo
[01:35.456]Teach them a lesson, once and all
[01:39.581]Commandeered every freight train
[01:42.163]To the Kentucky line
[01:45.538]Took every car that crossed our path
[01:49.204]And all the guns and ammo we could find
[01:52.901]
[01:54.032]The union leaders tried to stop us
[01:57.445]Mother Jones told us to turn back
[02:00.740]But we had learned ourselves from the gun thugs
[02:04.247]There’s a time to talk and a time to attack
[02:07.854]We had no leader, we didn’t need one
[02:11.772]We all knew the way through Logan County
[02:14.739]And we all knew once we got there
[02:17.853]We’re gonna hang Sheriff Chapin from a sour apple tree
[02:22.727]
[02:23.183]We’re marchin’ on to Mingo
[02:26.267]Ten thousand men and countin’
[02:29.861]Here in the hills of West Virginia
[02:35.921]At the Battle of Blair Mountain
[02:39.137]
[02:43.586]For three days and nights we fought them
[02:47.161]The front was ten miles wide
[02:50.502]Every cop and scab in West Virginia
[02:53.950]Was there on the other side
[02:57.386]They dropped explosives from their airplanes
[03:00.850]Such a thing you never saw
[03:04.280]They shot us with machine guns
[03:07.569]It was the operator’s law
[03:11.556]
[03:12.876]We dug trenches and wore helmets
[03:16.087]That we brought from the Argonne
[03:19.706]All the way from France to Logan
[03:23.041]We fought from dusk to dawn
[03:26.636]President Harding sent in the Army
[03:29.841]And we left our line to them
[03:33.371]But the hills of West Virginia
[03:36.944]Will long remember when
[03:40.649]
[03:42.042]We were marchin’ on to Mingo
[03:45.376]Ten thousand men and countin’
[03:48.830]Here in the hills of West Virginia
[03:55.075]At the Battle of Blair Mountain
