about

A former union organizer and activist based in Ithaca, New York, George Mann sings songs from the last century of the labor and social justice movements, and his own songs are powerful and funny takes on the state of the nation. His concerts are part sing-along, part history lesson, and he can make you shout for joy, send chills down your spine or bring tears to your eyes in the same set. He also specializes in historical and educational workshops/theme concerts and presentations on folk music, labor and social history, and some of our most beloved folksingers.

He can be found at georgemann.org

lyrics

Come all you good workers, good news to you I'll tell
Of how the good ol' union is coming here to dwell

Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?

My daddy was a miner now he's in the air and sun
but he'll stick with the union 'til every battle's won

Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?

They say in Harlan County there are no neutrals there
You'll either be a union man or a thug for J. H. Blair

Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?

Oh workers can you stand it? Oh tell me how you can
Will you be a lousy scab or will you take a stand?

Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?

Don't scab for the bosses, don't listen to their lies
Us poor folks haven't got a chance unless we organize

Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?

Tell me

Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
