"Which Side Are You On?" fill in the lyrics

Classic protest song! Folk god Pete Seeger, left, recorded the standard version written by a 12-year-old poet/daughter of a miner, Florence Reece. I love punk activist Billy Bragg's lyrics which are different.

Original "Which Side Are You On?"
Come all of you good workers
Good news to you I'll tell
Of how the good ol' union
Has come in here to dwell
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
My daddy was a miner
And I'm a miner's son
And I'll stick with the union
'Til every battle's won
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
They say in Harlan County
There are no neutrals there
You'll either be a union man
Or a thug for J. H. Blair
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Billy Bragg's "Which Side Are You On?"
This government had an idea
And parliament made it law
It seems like it's illegal
To fight for the union anymore
Which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?
We set out to join the picket line
For together we cannot fail
We got stopped by police at the county line
They said, "Go home boys or you're going to jail"
It's hard to explain to a crying child
Why her Daddy can't go back
So the family suffer, but it hurts me more
To hear a scab say, "Sod you, Jack"
Which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?
