My daddy was a miner, my daddy's daddy too
Union, God and country was all they ever knew
They worked from early mornin' till the evenin' whistle blew
When they'd strike the mine they'd walk the line
Cause that's just what you'd do
When you're born in West Virginia, a miner through and through
Union, God and country was all they ever knew
Union, God and country
West Virginia gold and blue
Union, God and country was all we ever knew
Before there was a union, the company was king
You worked your fingers to the bone and couldn't show a thing
You shifted coal till Friday, drew your pay and then
Walked down to the company store and give it back again
That's why they made the union, they had nothin' left to lose
And Union, God and country was all they ever knew
Union, God and country
West Virginia gold and blue
Union, God and country was all we ever knew
ย
Union, God and country
West Virginia gold and blue
Union, God and country was all we ever knew
Union, God and country
West Virginia gold and blue
Union, God and country was all we ever knew
