[00:00.00]Harry Simms - Pete Seeger
[00:06.76]Come and listen to my story
[00:09.29]Come and listen to my song
[00:13.29]I will tell you of a hero
[00:16.07]Who's now dead and gone
[00:19.75]I will tell you of a young boy
[00:21.97]Whose age was nineteen
[00:25.14]He was the bravest union man
[00:27.31]That I have ever seen
[00:34.03]Harry Simms was a palomine
[00:36.25]We labored side by side
[00:40.41]Expecting to be shot on sight or taken for a ride
[00:46.54]By them dirty cold operator gun thugs
[00:49.82]That roamed from town to town
[00:53.47]A-shooting down the union men
[00:55.65]Where e'er they may be found
[01:10.55]Harry Simms was walkin' down the track
[01:13.86]One bright sun-shiney day
[01:17.74]He was a youth of courage
[01:20.99]His step was light and gay
[01:24.16]He did not know the gun thugs was hiding on the way
[01:29.60]To kill our brave young comrade
[01:31.92]This bright sun-shiney day
[01:37.75]Harry Simms was killed on Brush Creek
[01:40.62]In nineteen thirty-two
[01:44.16]He organized the miners into the N M U
[01:50.22]He gave his life in struggle that was all that he could do
[01:56.17]He died for the union also for me and you
