Lyrics: Joe Hill
Music: Joe Hill
Would you have freedom from Wage slavery
Then join in the grand lndustrial band;
Would you from misery and hunger be free
Then come,do your share,lend a hand.
There is power there is power in a band of workingfolk,
When they stand hand in hand,
That's a power,that's a power
That must rule in every land
One lndustrial Union Grand.
Would you have mansions of gold in the sky,
and live in a shack,way in the back?
Would you have wings up in heaven to fly,
And starve here with rags on your back?
There is power there is power in a band of workingfolk,
When they stand hand in hand,
That's a power,that's a power
That must rule in every land
One lndustrial Union Grand.
If you've had'nuff of the "blood of the lamb"
Then come join the grand industrial band;
If,for a change,you would have eggs and ham
Then come,do your share,lend a hand.
There is power there is power in a band of workingfolk,
When they stand hand in hand,
That's a power,that's a power
That must rule in every land
One lndustrial Union Grand.
If you like sluggers to beat off your head,
Then don't organize,all unions despise.
If you want nothing before you are dead.
Shake hands with your boss and look Wise.
There is power there is power in a band of workingfolk,
When they stand hand in hand,
That's a power,that's a power
That must rule in every land
One lndustrial Union Grand.
Come,all ye workers,from every land,
Come,join in the grand industrial band;
Then we our share of this earth shall demand.
Come on!Do your share,lend a hand
There is power there is power in a band of workingfolk,
When they stand hand in hand,
That's a power,that's a power
That must rule in every land
One lndustrial Union Grand.
