The world today is mourning The death of Mother Jones; Grief and sorrow hover Over the miners' homes; This grand old champion of labor Has gone to a better land, But the hard-working miners, They miss her guiding hand. - - - Through the hills and over the valleys, In every mining town, Mother Jones was ready to help them-She never turned them down. In front with the striking miners She always could be found, She fought for right and justice, She took a noble stand. - - - With a spirit strong and fearless She hated that which was wrong; She never gave up fighting, Until her breath was gone. May the workers all get together To carry out her plan, And bring back better conditions To every laboring man. -Anonymous
