ONE BIG INDUSTRIAL UNION
By G. G. Allen
(Air: "Marching Through Georgia")

Bring the good old red book, boys, we'll sing another song.
Sing it to the wage slave who has not yet joined the throng
Of the revolution that will sweep the world along,
To One Big Industrial Union.

CHORUS

Hooray! Hooray! The truth will make you free.
Horray! Horray! When will you workers see?
The only way you'll gain your economic liberty,
Is One Big Industrial Union.

Now the harvest String Trust they would move to Germany.
The silk Bosses of Paterson, they also want to flee
From strikes and labor troubles ,but they cannot get away
From One Big Industrial Union.

You migratory workers of the common labor clan,
We sing to you to join and be a fighting Union Man;
You must emancipate yourself, you proletarian,
With One Big Industrial Union.

CHORUS

Hooray! Hooray! Let's set the wage slave free.
Hooray! Hooray! With every victory
We'll hum the workers' an them till you finally must be
In One Big Industrial Union.

For every dollar the parasite has and didn't work for there's a slave who worked for a dollar he didn't get.
