lirik lagu hazard, kentucky – phil ochs
well, some people think that unions are too strong,

you’ll be screamin’ for a union that will care.
well, let’s look at old kentucky for a while.

and when duty calls he seldom ever whines.

when he runs the law and also runs the mines.
well, minin’ is a hazard in hazard, kentucky,
and if you ain’t minin’ there,
well, my friends, you’re awful lucky,
’cause if you don’t get silicosis or pay that’s just atrocious

well, our standard of living is highest all around,
but our standard of giving is the lowest when you’re down,
so give a yell and a whistle when they light that union missile
and we’ll lift our feet up off the ground.
well, minin’ is a hazard in hazard, kentucky,
and if you ain’t minin’ there,
well, my friends, you’re awful lucky,
’cause if you don’t get silicosis or pay that’s just atrocious
you’ll be screamin for a union that will care.
