Afternoon Matinee: Protest - Union Burying Ground

Performed by Woody Guthrie

I see they're lowering a right new coffin

I see they're letting down a right new coffin

Way over in that union burying ground

And the new dirt's falling on a right new coffin

The new dirt's falling on a right new coffin

Way over in that union burying ground

Oh, tell me who's that they're letting down, down

Tell me who's that they're letting down, down

Way over in that union burying ground

Another union organizer

Another union organizer

Way over in that union burying ground

A union brother and a union sister

A union brother and a union sister

Way over in that union burying ground

A union father and a union mother

And a union father and a union mother

Way over in that union burying ground

Well, I'm going to sleep in a union coffin

I'm going to sleep in a union coffin

Way over in that union burying ground

Every new grave brings a thousand new ones

Every new grave brings a thousand members

Way over in that union burying ground

Every new grave brings a thousand brothers

Every new grave brings a thousand sisters

To the union in that union burying ground
