[00:00.39]My children are seven in number
[00:06.96]We have to sleep four in a bed
[00:11.69]I'm striking with my fellow workers

[00:46.42]My wife is sick with TB
[00:50.21]My babies are starving for sweet milk

[01:01.35]Milk, milk, we're striking for gallons of milk
[01:10.57]Milk, milk, we're striking for gallons of milk
[01:20.05]I'm needing a shave and a haircut
[01:24.88]But barbers I cannot afford
[01:29.25]My wife cannot wash without soapsuds
[01:33.78]And she had to borrow a board
[01:38.44]Soap, soap, we're striking for bars of soap
[01:48.12]Soap, soap, we're striking for bars of soap
[01:57.75]My house is a shack on the hillside
[02:01.89]It's floors are unpainted and bare

[02:11.55]And carbide cans do for a chair
[02:16.82]Homes, homes, we're striking for better homes
[02:27.01]Homes, homes, we're striking for better homes
[02:36.04]They shot Barney Graham our leader
[02:41.18]His spirit abides with us still
[02:46.33]The spirit of strength for justice
[02:51.13]No bullets have power to kill
[02:55.57]Barney, Barney, we're thinking of you today
[03:05.18]Barney, Barney, we're thinking of you today
[03:14.31]Oh miners go on with the union
[03:19.52]Oh miners go on with the fight
[03:24.29]For we're in the struggle for justice
[03:28.45]And we're in the struggle right
[03:34.03]Justice, justice, we're striking for justice for all
[03:43.92]Justice, justice, we're striking for justice for all
