The Death Of Mother Jones - Gene Autry

The world today’s in mourning

O’er the death of Mother Jones

Gloom and sorrow hover

Around the miners' homes

This grand old champion of labor

Was known in every land

She fought for right and justice

She took a noble stand

O’er the hills and through the valley

In ev’ry mining town

Mother Jones was ready to help them

She never turned them down

On front with the striking miners

She always could be found

And received a hearty welcome

In ev’ry mining town

She was fearless of every danger

She hated that which was wrong

She never gave up fighting

Until her breath was gone

This noble leader of labor

Has gone to a better land

While the hard-working miners

They miss her guiding hand

May the miners all work together

To carry out her plan

And bring back better conditions

For every laboring man
