Here is the Dick Gaughan version, words from the archive.org version of his website. It's on two of (in my option) his very best albums, if you can get hold of them - "Live in Edinburgh" and "True and Bold: Songs of the Scottish Miners". (I bought my first Gaughan album, True and Bold, on the basis of this song - naively, my 16 year old self thought it was a Bragg cover! I was utterly hooked from the opening bars of Miners Life is Like a Sailor, the first song, and have been ever since.)
Come all of you good people
You women and you men
Once more our backs are to the wall
We're being attacked again
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
We've fought a million battles
To defend our hard-won rights
We're going to have to fight again
And I ask you here tonight
Thatcher sent MacGregor
To smash the NUM
And break the workers' unity
And I ask you once again
The Tories rant and tear their hair
And shout 'democracy'
But the kind the Tories have in mind
Is not for you or me
Their screaming about ballots
Is pure hypocrisy
If they care so much for ballots
What about the GLC?
By bully boys in uniforms
And thugs with riot shields
Our comrades' blood is being shed
But still they will not yield
It's time for a decision
And you really have to choose
Support the miners' struggle
Or the next in line is you
