A miner's life is like a sailor's
On board a ship to cross the waves
Every day his life's in danger
Many ventures being brave
Watch the rocks, they're falling daily
Careless miners always fail
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
Union miners, stand together
Do not heed the owner's tale
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
You've been docked and docked again, boys
You've been loading two for one
What have you to show for working
Since your mining day is done?
Worn out boots and worn out miners
Lungs of stone and children pale
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
Union miners, stand together
Do not heed the owner's tale
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
In conclusion, bear in memory
Keep this password in your mind
Miners' strength cannot be broken
When in union we combine
Stand up all and stand together
Victory shall for you prevail
So keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
Union miners, stand together
Do not heed the owner's tale
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
