Mesterton
On the day of May 14th,
In 1931
Captain Mesterton brought 60 men along
Hireed to break up, the Versteeg company strike
Ordered not to ask, but shoot on sight
4 men got in the line of fire
As the captains order rang
A stray one took her by surprise
And for her life she ran
The labour's gone on strike
Refusing to cut their pay
Versteeg brought in scab
T save his day
The workers organized
Went on a protest march
But the arrival of the scab
Became the spark
4 men got in the line of fire
As the captains order rang
A stray one took her by surprise
And for her life she ran
Here lies a swedish worker
Fallen in peace time
Unarmed and defenseless
Executed by an unknown bullet
On the day of May 14th,
In 1931
Captain Mesterton brought 60 men along
Hired to break up, the Versteeg company strike
Ordered not to ask, but shoot on sight
4 men got in the line of fire
As the captains order rang
A stray one took her by surprise
And for her life she ran
4 men got in the line of fire
As the captains order rang
A stray one took her by surprise
And for her life she ran
In 1931
Captain Mesterton brought 60 men along
Hireed to break up, the Versteeg company strike
Ordered not to ask, but shoot on sight
4 men got in the line of fire
As the captains order rang
A stray one took her by surprise
And for her life she ran
The labour's gone on strike
Refusing to cut their pay
Versteeg brought in scab
T save his day
The workers organized
Went on a protest march
But the arrival of the scab
Became the spark
4 men got in the line of fire
As the captains order rang
A stray one took her by surprise
And for her life she ran
Here lies a swedish worker
Fallen in peace time
Unarmed and defenseless
Executed by an unknown bullet
On the day of May 14th,
In 1931
Captain Mesterton brought 60 men along
Hired to break up, the Versteeg company strike
Ordered not to ask, but shoot on sight
4 men got in the line of fire
As the captains order rang
A stray one took her by surprise
And for her life she ran
4 men got in the line of fire
As the captains order rang
A stray one took her by surprise
And for her life she ran
