To be good and willing slaves?

If the workers take a notion

D
Join the union, fellow workers
A G
Men and women, side by side;

We will crush the greedy shirkers
A G
Like a sweeping; surging tide;

For u-nited we are standing,
A G
But di-vided we will fall;
D
Let this be our understanding--
C G C
"All for one and one for all."

Rise in all your splendid might;

We'll have freedom, love, and health.

When the grand red flag is flying
C G C
In the Workers' Common-wealth.
