Pressure Point - The Ballad of Richard Davis lyrics
In 1877 down in Braidenwood Illinois The USA no living wage The workers joined the line Under clouded skies, blackened swollen eyes The white man fled the mines blinded by the bosses, the black man was denied UMW STILL TODAY BLACK AND WHITE, USA IN THE STREETS, ORGANIZE IN THE SHOPS, UNIONIZE For the union right he toiled and he fought He stood for you and he stood for me Both miners black and white Scabs no more brothers in labor The workers did unite For the cause, no more racism in the union hall Richard Davis we look to you For the strength to pull us through Richard Davis we'll toil we'll fight For the right to unionize |
