Union Burying Ground
Echoes of Solidarity: Tales from the Union Burying Ground
Lyrics
I see they're low'ring a right new coffin,
I observe they are lowering a brand new coffin.
I see they're letting down a right new coffin,
-Way over in that union burying ground.
It's happening in the union burying ground.
And the new dirt's a falling on a right new coffin,
Fresh earth is falling onto the same new coffin.
The new dirt's a falling on a right new coffin,
-Way over in that union burying ground.
It's still in the union burying ground.
Oh, tell me, who's that they're letting down, down?
Enquire, who are they lowering down?
Tell me, who's that they're letting down, down?
-Way over in that union burying ground.
It's in the union burying ground.
Another union organizer,
It's another union organizer.
Another union organizer,
-Way over in that union burying ground.
Located in the union burying ground.
A union brother and a union sister,
A brother and sister from the union.
A union brother and a union sister,
-Way over in that union burying ground.
In the union burying ground.
A union father and a union mother,
A father and mother from the union.
A union father and a union mother,
-Way over in that union burying ground.
In the union burying ground.
Well, I'm a gonna sleep in a union coffin,
Expressing a desire to rest in a union coffin.
I'm a gonna sleep in a union coffin,
-Way over in that union burying ground.
In the union burying ground.
Every new grave brings a thousand new ones,
Each new grave symbolizes a multitude of new union members.
Every new grave brings a thousand members,
-Way over in that union burying ground.
Located in the union burying ground.
Every new grave brings a thousand brothers,
Every new grave represents a thousand new union brothers.
And every new grave brings a thousand sisters
Every new grave represents a thousand new union sisters.
To the union in that union burying ground.
All contributing to the union in the union burying ground.
