Grand-père travaillait a pelle pis a pioche au fond du pit d'la mine d'asbestos

Au fond de la terre dans la poussière

La job de bras

Pour mon grand-père

Grand-mère élevait ses sept enfants

Sur le bord du pitt y'en avait tout autant

Sur le bord du cratère dans la poussière

La vie ordinaire pour ma grand-mère

Asbestos, asbestos

Nos vies dures comme la roche

Qui met l'argent dans nos poches

Asbestos

Les scabs traversent la ligne de pictage

Grand-père en lui sent monter la rage

Vous viendrez pas nous voler l'ouvrage

Les grévistes debout forment un barrage

Duplessis lâche lousse la police provinciale

Pis s'en suit des coups pis ben du saccage

Pis toujours la peur dans c'te vie en pacage

Grand mère pleure a boutte de courage

Asbestos, asbestos

Nos vies dures comme la roche

Qui met l'argent dans nos poches

Asbestos

Aujourd!hui asteur que grand père est parti

Grand-mère tranquille me raconte leur vie

C'ta pelle pis a pioche mon gars qu'on bâtit sa route, sa maison pis son pays

C'ta pelle pis a pioche mon gars qu'on bâtit sa route, sa maison pis son pays
