We labored side by side

Expecting to be shot on sight

By them dirty cold operator

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

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
