Come, all you coalminers
Wherever you may be
And listen to the story
That I relate to thee
My name is nothing extra
But the truth to you I tell
I am a coalminer
And I'm sure I wish you well
I was born in old Kentucky
In a coal camp, born and bred
I know about old beans
Bulldog gravy and cornbread
I know how the miners work and slave
In the coalmines every day
For a dollar in the company store
For that is all they pay
Mining is the most dangerous work
In our land today
Plenty of dirty, slaving work
For very little pay
Coalminers, won't you wake up
And open your eyes and see
What this dirty capitalist system
Has done to you and me
Dear miners, they will slave you
Until you can't work no more
And what will you get for your laborbut a dollar in the company store
A tumbledown shack to live in
Snow and rain pouring through the topand you have to pay the company rentand your payments will never stop
They take our very lifeblood
They take our children's lives
Take fathers away from children
Take husbands away from wivescoalminers, won't you organize
Wherever you may be
And make this a land of freedom
For workers, like you and me
I am a coalminer
And I'm sure I wish you well
Let's sink this capitalist system
To the darkest pits of hell
Uncle Tupelo was an alternative country music group from Belleville, Illinois, active between 1987 and 1994. Jay Farrar, Jeff Tweedy, and Mike Heidorn formed the band after the lead singer of their previous band, The Primitives, left to attend college. The trio recorded three albums for Rockville Records, before signing with Sire Records and expanding to a five-piece. Shortly after the release of the band's major label debut album Anodyne, Farrar announced his decision to leave the band due to a soured relationship with his co-songwriter Tweedy. Uncle Tupelo split on May 1, 1994, after completing a farewell tour. Following the breakup, Farrar formed Son Volt with Heidorn, while the remaining members continued as Wilco.
