In one Union now they all are fighting,
The product of their labor to retain.
CHORUS
It's a union for true Liberty
It's a union for you and for me;
It's for girls and for boys,
Who want freedom from wage slavery;
And we march with a Red Flag ahead,
'Cause the blood of all nations is red—
Come and join in the fray,
Come and join us today,
We are fighting for Freedom and Bread.
The master's class in fear have kept us shaking,
For long in bondage they held us fast;
But the fight the Industrial Workers are now making
Will make our chains a relic of the past.
Industrial unionism now is calling,
The toilers of the world they hear its cry;
In line with the Industrial Workers they are falling,
By their principles to stand or fall and die.
PAINT 'ER RED
By Ralph. H. Chaplin
(Tune: "Marching Through Georgia")
Come with us, you workingmen, and join the rebel band;
Come, you discontented ones, and give a helping hand,
We march against the parasite to drive him from the land.
With ONE BIG INDUSTRIAL UNION!
CHORUS
Hurrah! hurrah! we're going to paint 'er red!
Hurrah! hurrah! the way is clear ahead—
