[G]
The lot of the miner at best is quite hard We work for good money, get paid with a card
We scarcely can live and not a [Em] cent more [G] Since we're paid off in checks on the company store
Those great coal monopolies are growing apace They're making their millions by grinding our face
Until they're at prices [Em] that people pay toll [G] While they pay fifty cents for mining their coal
They keep cutting our wages time after time Where we once had a dollar, we now have a dime
While our souls are near famished and our bodies are sore We aren't paid off in checks on the company store
Though hard we may labor, but little we have We are robbed of our rights, though we fought for the slave
Monopoly keeps grasping for more and still more They will soon own the earth through the company store
The old pirates and brigands who fought hand to hand Who would scuttle a ship or pillage the land
Have formed a collusion and all [Em] come on shore [G] And now apply their trade through the company store
But when these old worthies are called to their doom I think honest business will enjoy a great boom
And when they are finally called [Em] from our shore [G] I hope [C] they'll take with them the [G] company store
[N]
