Lyrics

Song - The Sons of Pennsylvania
 
Verse #1
We are the sons of Pennsylvania ,
Coal dust runnin' through our blood.
Like generations had before us,
We toil away in sweat and mud.
 
Lift
Ours a true, and thankless honest labor,
Looking straight, into the face of danger.
 
Chorus
Each workday, we all risk our very lives,
When that lift, takes us for a ride.
Deep inside the shell, of this old Mother Earth,
Go the sons, the sons of Pennsylvania .
 
Verse #2
Can't help but feel the heat a risin',
It's comin' from every side.
As we work the large and yielding veins,
We find worth and endless pride.
 
Lift
Ours a true, and thankless honest labor,
Looking straight, into the face of danger.
 
Chorus
Each workday, we all risk our very lives,
When that lift, takes us for a ride.
Deep inside the shell, of this old Mother Earth,
Go the sons, the sons of Pennsylvania .
 
Bridge
Solidarity and brotherhood,
Is found in every man.
Just part of who we are,
What we're born to understand.
 
Instrumental.
 
Chorus
Each workday, we all risk our very lives,
When that lift, takes us for a ride.
Deep inside the shell, of this old Mother Earth,
Go the sons, the sons of Pennsylvania .
Go the sons, the sons of Pennsylvania .
We're the sons, the sons of Pennsylvania .
