union, god and country - steve earle lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
my daddy was a miner, my daddy’s daddy, too
union, god and country is all they ever knew
they worked from early mornin’ till the evenin’ whistle blew
when it’d strike the mine, you’d walk the line
’cause that’s just what ya do
when you’re born in west virginia, a miner through and through
union, god and country was all you ever knew

[chorus]
union, god and country, west virginia gold and blue
union, god and country was all we ever knew

[verse 2]
before there was a union the company was king
you’d work your fingers to the bone, couldn’t show a thing
you shifted coal to friday, drew your pay and then
you’d walk down to the company store and give it back again
that’s why they made the union, they had nothin’ left to lose
union, god and country was all they ever knew

[chorus]
it was union, god and country, west virginia gold and blue
union, god and country was all we ever knew

[instrumental verse]
[chorus]
it was union, god and country, west virginia gold and blue
union, god and country was all we ever knew
it was union, god and country, west virginia gold and blue
union, god and country was all we ever knew
