Paint 'Er Red |
Ralph H. Chaplin
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 We're gaining shop democracy and liberty and bread With one big Industrial Union!
2. In factory and field and mine | 3. Come on, you fellows, get in line; We'll fill the boss with fears; Red's the color of our flag, It's stained with blood and tears-- We'll flout it in his ugly mug And ring our loudest cheers For one big Industrial Union! Chorus:
4. "Slaves" they call us "working plugs,"
5. We hate their rotten system |
