No. 26. March of United Labor.
Tune
Come forth, ye toiling millions,
And join our worthy band
As on we pass to victory
To free our native land.
Our glorious cause we will defend
And equal rights demand,
While we go marching to victory.
CHORUS.
Hurrah! Hurrah! A shout of joyful glee!
Hurrah! Hurrah! We bring the Jubilee!
The farm and labor shall unite,
And sweep from sea to sea,
While we go marching to victory.
The lords of mammon tremble
When they hear our joyous shout
As on we press to victory
And put them all to rout.
The trusts and pools and money kings
"We'll turn the rascals out,"
While we go marching to victory.
Chorus.
The toiling millions can't unite;
That's what the bankers tell.
But hark! the tramp of millions,
And their chorus, anthem swell!
They shout for home and country,
And monopolies' death knell,
While they go marching to victory.
Chorus.
We'll raise our fathers' banner, boys,
And spread it out on high;
Beneath these sacred stars and strips
Monopolies shall die.
We have the ballot in our hands
All traitors we'll defy,
While we go marching to victory.
Chorus.
Our weapon is the ballot,
And our word is, "Right about!"
All hail the power in Union, boys
We'll give the world a shout;
The hand is writing on the wall,
"Go, cast the devils out,"
While we go marching to victory!
Chorus.
Geo. Campbell.
