Well, me and the boys been thinkin’, and we don’t like what we see
The boss man’s getting richer, and we ain’t got enough to eat
Well, he got a brand new Cadillac car, we got diddly squat
Workin’ away our lives to put a golf course on his yacht
Well, I think it’s time we take a tip from the old Blair Mountain men
It’s redneck union time again
Them Appalachian miners down West Virginia Way
Sold their soul to ol’ big coal until they had their say
From August to September, way back in ’21
They told the boss to go get lost, their workin’ days were done
They fought hard for worker’s rights, I think we should follow them
It’s redneck union time again
If you don’t take a stand, the boss will stand for you
He’ll be standin’ on your spine until it breaks in two
“Which side are you on?”, like the man Pete Seeger said
Will you fight for freedom or work until you’re dead?
A good old fashioned union fight is needed now and then
It’s redneck union time again
It’s redneck union time again
It’s redneck union time again
It’s redneck union time again
It’s redneck union time again
A good old fashioned union fight is needed now and then
It’s redneck union time again
