The world today's in mourning
O'er the death of Mother Jones
Gloom and sorrow hover
Around the miners' homes
This grand old champion of labor
Was known in every land
She fought for right and justice
She took a noble stand
O'er the hills and through the valley
In ev'ry mining town
Mother Jones was ready to help them
She never turned them down
On front with the striking miners
She always could be found
And received a hearty welcome
In ev'ry mining town
She was fearless of every danger
She hated that which was wrong
She never gave up fighting
Until her breath was gone
This noble leader of labor
Has gone to a better land
While the hard-working miners
They miss her guiding hand
May the miners all work together
To carry out her plan
And bring back better conditions
For every laboring man
