We’ll keep the red, we’ll keep the red, we’ll keep the Red Flag flying high We’ll keep the red, we’ll keep the red, we’ll keep the Red Flag flying high
36 to 86, nothing changed and it made you sick Red Ellen led the first crusade; her spirit’s with you as you walk back again Once again see them marching down, different face from the same home town Given a pound and turned back round again
We’ll keep the red, we’ll keep the red, we’ll keep the Red Flag flying high We’ll keep the red, we’ll keep the red, we’ll keep the Red Flag flying high
86 like 36, The river’s dead just the ghost of ships Red Ellen led the first crusade; her spirit’s with you as you walk back again Once again see them marching down, different faces but the same home town Given a pound and turned back round again
And when we get there, we want the freedom of the city, we want jobs, we want a living, we want work
We’ll keep the red, we’ll keep the red, we’ll keep the Red Flag flying high We’ll keep the red, we’ll keep the red, we’ll keep the Red Flag flying high
Once again see them marching down, different faces but the same home town Given a pound and turned back round again
We’ll keep the red, we’ll keep the red, we’ll keep the Red Flag flying high (5 times)
