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
