    “They’ll Never Keep Us Down” is a small album of cover songs, each
    carefully chosen and made to come out in my own voice. Each of these
    songs had a huge impact on me coming up as a young person, they were
    able to allow me to see another’s point of view, or attempt to
    understand a larger issue at hand. They were able to allow me to
    emphatically understand the struggle from many different viewpoints
    and walks of life. These songs examine the issues and struggles of the
    American people. They examine the issues and push for progress."
    -Kelsey Waldon

    The vinyl record will come in two different colors, each color will coincide with a portion of sales going to a charity of Kelsey's choice.

    Green Vinyl will benefit women veterans at the Lexington VA Health Care System

    Blue Vinyl will benefit the Appalachian Citizens Law Center - "a nonprofit law firm that fights for justice in the coalfields by using a high-impact three-pronged strategy for change: litigation, advocacy, and organizing."

lyrics

United we stand, divided we fall
For every dime they give us a battle must be fought
So working people use your power the key to liberty
Don't support the rich man's style of luxury

There ain't no way they can ever keep us down
There ain't no way they can ever keep us down
We won't be bought, we won't be sold
To be treated right, well that's our goal
There ain't no way they can ever keep us down

We've been shot, we've been jailed, lord its a sin
Women and children stood right by the men
We've got a union contract that keeps the worker free
They'll never shoot that union out of me

They'll never shoot that union out of me, oh no
They'll never shoot that union out of me
Got a contract in our hand signed by the blood of honest
Men
They'll never shoot that union out of me

The power wheel is rolling, rolling right along
The government is keep it going going strong
so working people get your help from your own kind
Your welfare ain’t on the rich man's mind

Your welfare ain’t on the rich man's mind
Your welfare ain’t on the rich man's mind
They want the power in their hands just to keep out of the workers hands
Your welfare ain’t on the rich man's mind

They'll never, never, never keep us down
They'll never, never, never keep us down
They cheat, rob, lie and kill but we'll stop that big ol wheel
They'll never, never, never keep us down
