Union Miner by Tom Breiding Lyrics

I am a Union Miner
And I work all night and day
I am a Union  Miner
I'll mine your coal for Union wage

17, I left my home
This country's flag
I fought the war
By 21 in my home town
I weren't welcome in the region hall no more

Because I am a Union Miner
And I work all night and day
I am a Union Miner
I'll mine your coal for Union wage

For that wage I'll lay my life
When I marched down
From Marmet
Armed with my Colt and Winchester
Red bandanna tied 'bout my neck
I am a Union Miner
And I work all night and day
I am a Union Miner
I'll mine your coal for Union wage

Ten thousand strong I'll make my stand
Union brothers all there with me
We ain't coming home until Sheriff Chafin
Is hanging from a sour apple tree

I am a Union Miner
And I work all night and day
I am a Union Miner
I'll mine your coal for Union wage

I'll mine your coal for Union wage
