• The Ballad of Bill Blizzard

The miners of West Virginia in 1921
Were a brotherhood divided by oppressive men with guns
Crooked law men and politicians throughout the coal belt
And the murderous hired thugs of Baldwin and Felts

  Things cannot stay this way
  It's up to us boys to bring on change
  He held the power in his hands
  As they waited his command
  For to hear Bill say:
  Ready, Aim…

In the organized North in District 17
A man by the name of Bill Blizzard didn't like what he was seeing
Poor wages in the South and a hazardous workplace
And the ban on the UMW that his southern comrades faced

  Things cannot stay this way
  It's up to us boys to bring on change
  He held the power in his hands
  As they waited his command
  For to hear Bill say:
  Ready, Aim, Fire

Well they knew what they must do
And knew this cause was true
As they loaded up their packs
And strapped their rifles to their backs
They commandeered the trains
And they road em' down the tracks
And they all new god damn well
That they'd all not be coming back

  Things cannot stay this way
  It's up to us boys to bring on change
  He held the power in his hands
  As they waited his command
  For to hear Bill say:
  Ready, Aim, Fire
