Hazard, Kentucky lyrics
Song information
Artist: Phil Ochs Album: The Broadside Tapes 1
Lyrics
Well, some people think that unions are too strong Union leaders should go back where they belong; But I wish that they could see a little more of poverty And they might start to sing a different song
Well, minin' is a hazard in hazard, kentucky And if you ain't minin' there Well, my friends, you're awful lucky 'Cause if you don't get silicosis or pay that's just atrocious You'll be screamin' for a union that will care
Well, let's look at old kentucky for a while It's hard to find a miner who will smile Well, the constitution's fine, but it's hard reading in the mines And when welfare stops, the trouble starts to pile
Well, minin' is a hazard in hazard, kentucky And if you ain't minin' there Well, my friends, you're awful lucky 'Cause if you don't get silicosis or pay that's just atrocious You'll be screamin' for a union that will care
Well, the depression was ended with the war But nobody told kentucky, that is sure Some are living in a sewer while the jobs are getting fewer But more coal is mined than ever was before
Well, minin' is a hazard in hazard, kentucky And if you ain't minin' there Well, my friends, you're awful lucky 'Cause if you don't get silicosis or pay that's just atrocious You'll be screamin' for a union that will care
Well, the badge of sheriff combs always shines And when duty calls he seldom ever whines Well, I don't like raisin' thunder, but it sort of makes you wonder When he runs the law and also runs the mines
Well, minin' is a hazard in hazard, kentucky And if you ain't minin' there Well, my friends, you're awful lucky 'Cause if you don't get silicosis or pay that's just atrocious You'll be screamin for a union that will care
Well, our standard of living is highest all around But our standard of giving is the lowest when you're down So give a yell and a whistle when they light that union missile And we'll lift our feet up off the ground
Well, minin' is a hazard in hazard, kentucky And if you ain't minin' there Well, my friends, you're awful lucky 'Cause if you don't get silicosis or pay that's just atrocious You'll be screamin for a union that will care
