Verse 1
Em 
Come and listen to my story
Come and listen to my song
B 
Em 
I will tell you of a hero
Who's now dead and gone
B 
Em 
I will tell you of a young boy
Whose age was nineteen
He was the bravest union man
That I have ever seen
B 
Em 

Verse 2
Harry Simms was a palomine
We labored side by side
Expecting to be shot on sight
Or taken for a ride
By them dirty cold operator
gun thugs
Bm 
Em 
That roamed from town to town
A- shooting down the union men

Verse 3
Where e'er they may be found
Em 
Harry Simms was walkin'
down the track
One bright sun- shiney day
He was a youth of courage
His step was light and gay
He did not know the gun thugs
Was hiding on the way
To kill our brave young comrade
B 
Em 
This bright sun- shiney day
Harry Simms was killed on
Brush Creek
In nineteen thirty- two
B 
Em 
He organized the miners,
into the NMU
He gave his life in struggle
That was all that he could do
He died for the union, also for me and you
