There is Power in a Union

Would you have freedom from wage slavery
Then join in the grand industrial band
Would you from misery and hunger be free
Come on, do your share, lend a hand

There is power, there is power in a band of working folks
When they stand
Hand in hand
That's a power, that's a power
That must rule in every land
One industrial union grand

Would you have mansions of gold in the sky
And live in a shack, way in the back
Would you have wings up in heaven to fly
And stay here with rags on your back?

There is power, there is power in a band of working folks
When they stand
Hand in hand
That's a power, that's a power
That must rule in every land
One industrial union grand

If you've had enough of the "blood of the lamb"
Then come join the grand industrial band
If, for a change, you'd have eggs and ham
Come on, do your share, lend a hand

There is power, there is power in a band of working folks
When they stand
Hand in hand
That's a power, that's a power
That must rule in every land
One industrial union grand

If you like sluggers to beat on your heads
Then don't organize, all unions despise
If you want nothing before you are dead
Shake hands with your boss and look wise

There is power, there is power in a band of working folks
When they stand
Hand in hand
That's a power, that's a power
That must rule in every land
One industrial union grand

Come, all you workers, from every land
Come join in the grand industrial band
Then we our share of this earth shall demand
Come on, do your share, lend a hand

There is power, there is power in a band of working folks
When they stand
Hand in hand
That's a power, that's a power
That must rule in every land
One industrial union grand
