Originally played by Joe Hill, this is one of the most famous IWW songs. To the
tune of There is Power in the Blood of the Lamb.
GWould you have freedom fromC wage slavGery?
Then Djoin in the grand inGdustrial band
Would you from misC'ry and Ghunger be free
Then coDme do your share like aG man
CHORUS:
GThere is power, There is power,
in a Cband of workingG men
When they Dstand hand in Ghand
GThere is power, There is power,
that must Crule in every Gland
One Dindustrial union Ggrand
-Chorus-
GWould you have mansions of gCold in the sGky
And liveD in a shack, way in Gthe back?
Would you have wings up Cin Heaven Gto fly
And starDve here with rags on yoGur back?
-Chorus-
If you've had enough of the blood of the lamb
Then join in the grand industrial band
If, for a change, you'd have eggs and ham
Then come do your share like a man
-Chorus-
If you like sluggers to beat off your head
Then don't organize, all unions despise
If you want nothing before you are dead
Shake hands with your boss and look wise
-Chorus-
Come all ye workers, from every land
Come join the grand industrial band
Then we our share of this earth shall demand
Come on, do your share like a man
-Chorus-
