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.
Phil Ochs (1940-1976) è stato un cantautore americano noto per le sue canzoni di protesta politica e sociale. Nato Philip David Ochs a El Paso, Texas, ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale negli anni '50, influenzato da artisti come Woody Guthrie e Pete Seeger. Ochs si distinse per il suo impegno civile e la sua capacità di trasformare eventi politici in testi incisivi e musicalmente coinvolgenti. Le sue canzoni affrontavano temi come la guerra del Vietnam, la disuguaglianza sociale e i diritti civili, guadagnandosi l'appellativo di "topical singer", un termine che lui stesso preferiva a quello di cantautore di protesta. Tra le sue canzoni più famose ricordiamo "Draft Dodger Rag", "I Ain't Marching Anymore" e "Here's to the State of Mississippi". Ochs ha pubblicato numerosi album, tra cui "Phil Ochs Sings", "Gun of Love" e "Pleasures of the Harbor", che hanno contribuito a consolidare la sua posizione come uno dei cantautori di protesta più influenti degli anni '60. La sua musica ha ispirato generazioni di artisti e continua ad essere ascoltata oggi per il suo messaggio di giustizia sociale e la sua potenza evocativa.
