Now the frost was set hard on the field And the sun it hung low in the sky The land it had ceased for to yield The ewes and the cattle they died
[Chorus] Oh where were you then in our need As we called for your aid and we cried Oh help us our children to feed But you turned your heads and passed by
So we fled from the land in our droves To the dark of the mills were condemned Farewell to the pastures and groves But our children were still cold and clemmed
The depression it robbed us of pride And the mills they were all closing down So we marched with the new union tide To the south from our bleak northern towns
But you gathered your wealth from our need Making money from money again Making greed your religion and creed Ignoring the working man's pain
Now you sit in your country estates With your bonuses keeping you warm Just look to your fortified gates And hope that you weather the storm.
