The Legend of Fairmount - The Battle for Blair Mountain Lyrics




In the hills where the miners were bold
They fought for a future untold
With red bandanas tight
They rose up in the night
Against power and greed, uncontrolled

Fight, fight, with all of your might
At Blair Mountain, we'll stand for what's right
For the union we claim
For our lives, not in vain
In the heart of the coal's endless night

The company men with their gold
Tried to keep the miners controlled
But with courage they came
For their rights to proclaim
A battle for freedom, retold

Fight, fight, with all of your might
At Blair Mountain, we'll stand for what's right
For the union we claim
For our lives, not in vain
In the heart of the coal's endless night

For five days the gunfire would rain
With hope and with sorrow and pain
Yet their spirits stood strong
In the fight against wrong
Their dreams in each echo remain

Though the law came with force to restrain
And the battle saw many in pain
The story they penned
In the hills without end
Is one that will always remain

Fight, fight, with all of your might
At Blair Mountain, we'll stand for what's right
For the union we claim
For our lives, not in vain
In the heart of the coal's endless night

In the hills where the rivers run free
Lives the spirit of their bravery
Though the battle has passed
Their legacy lasts
In the echoes of their victory

Fight, fight, with all of your might
At Blair Mountain, we'll stand for what's right
For the union we claim
For our lives, not in vain
In the heart of the coal's endless night

Fight, fight, with all of your might
At Blair Mountain, we'll stand for what's right
For the union we claim

Fight, fight, with all of your might
At Blair Mountain, we'll stand for what's right
For the union we claim
For our lives, not in vain
In the heart of the coal's endless night
