This government had an idea The Parliament made it law Seems like it's illegal To fight for the Union any more And 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 lines 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" And which side are you on, boys? Which side are you on? Which side are you on, boys? Which side are you on? Well, it's hard to explain to a crying child Why her Daddy won'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? Which side are you on, boys Which side are you on? Well, I'm bound to follow my conscience And I'll do whatever I can But it'll take much more than the Union law To knock the fight out of a working man And which side are you on, boys? Which side are you on? Which side are you on, boys? Which side are you on?
