Which Side Are You On?

text: Florence Patton Reece

Come all of you good workers
Good news to you I'll tell
Of how that good old union
Has come in here to dwell

Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?

My daddy was a miner
And I'm a miner's son
And I'll stick with the union
Till every battle's won

Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?

They say in Harlan County
There are no neutrals there
You'll either be a union man
Or a thug for J.H. Blair

Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?

Oh, workers can you stand it?
Oh, tell me how you can
Will you be a lousy scab
Or will you be a man?

Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?

Don't scab for the bosses
Don't listen to their lies
Us poor folks haven't got a chance
Unless we organize Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?

Tigern, pantern och krokodilen
text: Carl Gustaf af Leopold

Vem har skadat mänskor mest?
Därom vid en bredd av Nilen
Tigen, pantern, krokodilen
Stridde vid en mötesfest.

"Femton mina offer blivit,"
Krokodiln med stolthet skrek.
Pantern sade: "det är lek,
Femti har jag sönderrivit."

"Priset mig och ingen ann´,"
Ropte tigern, "är förvarat,
Ty en krigande tyrann,
Som jag mötte, - har jag sparat."
