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.
FWould you have freedom fromF wage slavFery?
Then Gjoin in the grand inFdustrial band
Would you from misF'ry and Fhunger be free
Then coGme do your share like aF man
CHORUS:
FThere is power, There is power,
in a Fband of workingF men
When they Gstand hand in Fhand
FThere is power, There is power,
that must Frule in every Fland
One Gindustrial union Fgrand
-Chorus-
FWould you have mansions of gFold in the sFky
And liveG in a shack, way in Fthe back?
Would you have wings up Fin Heaven Fto fly
And starGve here with rags on yoFur 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-
