[00:04.73]Come and listen to my story
[00:06.65]Come and listen to my song
[00:08.42]
[00:10.43]I will tell you of a hero
[00:12.45]
[00:13.21]Who's now dead and gone
[00:14.71]
[00:16.62]I will tell you of a young boy
[00:17.90]
[00:18.80]Whose age was nineteen
[00:20.26]
[00:22.14]He was the bravest union man
[00:24.21]That I have ever seen
[00:25.83]
[00:33.98]Harry Simms was a palomine
[00:36.06]We labored side by side
[00:37.85]
[00:40.16]Expecting to be shot on sight
[00:42.14]Or taken for a ride
[00:44.05]
[00:46.37]By them dirty cold operator gun thugs
[00:48.74]
[00:49.46]That roamed from town to town
[00:51.36]
[00:53.57]A-shooting down the union men
[00:55.42]Where e'er they may be found
[00:57.17]
[01:03.68]Harry Simms was walkin' down the track
[01:06.57]One bright sun-shiney day
[01:08.37]
[01:10.84]He was a youth of courage
[01:11.96]
[01:13.24]His step was light and gay
[01:15.33]
[01:17.46]He did not know the gun
[01:18.97]Thugs was hiding on the way
[01:21.29]
[01:22.48]To kill our brave young comrade
[01:23.88]This bright sun-shiney day
[01:26.04]
[01:37.68]Harry Simms was killed on Brush Creek
[01:40.61]In nineteen thirty-two
[01:42.12]
[01:44.43]He organized the miners into the N M U
[01:48.77]
[01:51.55]He gave his life in struggle
[01:53.55]
[01:54.06]That was all that he could do
[01:55.78]
[01:58.25]He died for the union also for me and you
