Forever hand in hand;
Wherever people struggle,
There is my native land.
My brother's fears are my fears -
Yellow, White and Brown;;
My brother's tears are my tears,
The whole wide world around.
Let every voice be thunder,
Let every heart be stone,
Until all tyrants perish
Our work «hnll not be done.

The lost years shall be found.
Let slavery's ohaln be brokon,

Workers

I WATERS THi: WORKERS' BE&R.
I'm tho man, the very fat man
That watere the workers' beer,
And I'm the man, the very fat man
That waters the workore' beer;.
And what do I care If it makee them ill,
If it makos them terribly queer?
I've a yacht and a car and an aoroplanc,
And I waters tho workers1 beer.
When I makee tho workers' beer,
I pute in strychnine,
Some methylatos spirits
And a drop of paraffin.
But since a brew so terribly strong
Might make them terribly queer,
I reaches me hand for the water-tap
And I watere the workors' boor.
Now a drop of good boor is good for a man
Who'e thirsty and tirod and~hot,
And I eomotimee have a drop for myself
From a very special lot;
But a fat and healthy working class
Is the thing that I most fear,
80 I reaches my hand for the water-tap
And I watore the workers' beer.
Now ladioe fair, beyond compare,
And be ye maid or wife,
0,spmetlaeB lend a thought for one
Who leads a wandering life;
The water rates are shockingly high,
And meth. ie shockingly dear,
And there isn't the profit there used to bo
In watering the workers4 beer.
UNION MAID.
There once was a union maid,
She never wac^frMd
Of settling detots and bosses threats,
And Special Branch di .that *a|ie the raids.
She went to the union hall ' .
When a meeting it wae called,
And whon old Sample's boy's came round
She always stood £er ground.
Chorus:
6h, you can't scare me,
I'm sticking to the Onion, (3)
Oh you can't scare me,
I'm sticking to the Union, (2)
Till tho day I die.
This union maid was wise
To the tricks of oompany spies;
She couldn't be fooled by a company itool,
She'd always organise the guye,
She'd always get her way
When she asked for better pay;
She'd show- her card to the company guard,
And this Is what she'd say: (CHORUS)
Now you gals who want to be free,
Juet take a tip from mo;
Got you a man who's a union man,
And fight together for liberty;
Marriod life alnt hard
Whon you got a union card,
And a union man leads a happy life
When he's got a union wife (CHORUS)

Head of the Spoolal - tha Politioal Police ).
