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