"You can tell them in the country, tell them in the town

Miners down in Mingo laid their shovels down

we won't pull another pillar, load another ton

or lift another finger until the union we have won

Stand up boys, let the bosses know

Turn your buckets over, turn your lanterns low

There's fire in our hearts and fire in our soul

but there ain't gonna be no fire in the hole

Daddy died a miner and grandpa he did too,

I'll bet this coal will kill me before my working days is through

And a hole this dark and dirty an early grave I find

And I plan to make a union for the ones I leave behind

Stand up boys, let the bosses know

Turn you buckets over, turn your lanterns low

There's fire in our hearts and fire in our soul

but there ain't gonna be no fire in the hole

There ain't gonna be no fire in the hole"

Matewan is an awesome movie, teaches an important lesson about history that should be taught in all the schools!

When sweet spirit is gruff and grizzled, when earth air and water turn confused to fire, when all that can be said, not done/loved, is pointless/unknown as a liar, then in that hole there'll be a fire.

In 1920 the miners who were horribly treated by the coal operators and their gun thugs like Baldwin Felts tried to bring what we now know as the UMWA to West Virginia. Today the UMWA has s large regional headquarters in Matewan. Ha!!!!

The wonderful Hazel Dickens knew that coal miners have to fight daily for a safe & healthy workplace. To hear how miners who make safety complaints today are treated by outlaw coal operators, check out Raymond Crooke's song "Big Coal Don't Like This Man At All" on YouTube. It tells the true story of Kentucky coal miner Charles Scott Howard, who stood up for safety at an underground mine operated by Arch Coal and was fired as a result. He filed a whistleblower case, won his job back and is working in the mines again!

"Matewan" SHOULD be taught in history. This makes me very happy.

I know a few politicians that I wished had died before her and I hope she gives them massive shit in the afterlife that I don't believe in. Peace Hazel, my other mom.
