They'll Never Keep Us Down - Hazel Dickens

United we stand, divided we fall

For every dime they give us a battle must be fought

So working people use your power the key to liberty

Don’t support the rich man’s style of luxury

And there ain’t no way they can ever keep us down, oh no

There ain’t no way they can ever keep us down

We won’t be bought, we won’t be sold

To be treated right, well that’s our goal

There ain’t no way they can evr keep us down

We’ve been shot, we’v been jailed, lord its a sin

Women and children stood right by the men

We’ve got a union contract that keeps the worker free

They’ll never shoot that union out of me

They’ll never shoot that union out of me, oh no

They’ll never shoot that union out of me

Got a contract in our hand signed by the blood of honest men

They’ll never shoot that union out of me

The power wheel is rolling, rolling right along

The government is keep it going going strong

So working people get your help from your own kind

Your welfare ain’t on the rich man’s mind

Your welfare ain’t on the rich man’s mind, oh no

Your welfare ain’t on the rich man’s mind

They want the power in their hands

Just to keep out of the workers hands

And your welfare ain’t on the rich man’s mind

They’ll never, never, never keep us down, oh no

They’ll never, never, never keep us down

Cheat, rob, lie and kill but we’ll stop that big wheel

They’ll never, never, never keep us down
