Utah Phillips - There Is Power in a Union lyrics
[Utah Phillips - There Is Power in a Union lyrics]
It's Joe Hill's best song sorry
We almost missed the damn the
Thing the chorus is: "There is power
There is power in a band of workingfolks
When they stand hand in hand that's a power
That's a power that must rule in every land:
One industrial union grand"
I'll teach you the chorus!
There is power
There is power in a band of workingfolks
When they stand hand in hand that's a power
That's a power that must rule in every land:
One industrial union grand
Have you got that again? Do you understand
The chorus? Everybody got it now? Alright
Oh, would you have freedom from wage slavery
Then come join 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 workingfolks
When they stand hand in hand that's a power
That's a power that must rule in every land:
One industrial union grand
Oh, would you have mansions of
Gold in the sky and live in a shack that's
All way in the back?
Would you have wings up in heaven to fly
And starve here with rags on your back?
But there is power
There is power in a band of workingfolks
When they stand hand in hand that's a power
That's a power that must rule in every land:
One industrial union grand
Oh, if you like sluggers to beat in 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
But there is power
There is power in a band of workingfolks
When they stand hand in hand that's a power
That's a power that must rule in every land:
One industrial union grand
So come, all ye workers, from every land
And come, join 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 workingfolks
When they stand hand in hand that's a power
That's a power that must rule in every land:
One industrial union grand
Applause power to the union!
Applause whistling
Cheering
If you've had 'nuff of the
"blood of the lamb"
We almost missed the damn the
Thing the chorus is: "There is power
There is power in a band of workingfolks
When they stand hand in hand that's a power
That's a power that must rule in every land:
One industrial union grand"
I'll teach you the chorus!
There is power
There is power in a band of workingfolks
When they stand hand in hand that's a power
That's a power that must rule in every land:
One industrial union grand
Have you got that again? Do you understand
The chorus? Everybody got it now? Alright
Oh, would you have freedom from wage slavery
Then come join 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 workingfolks
When they stand hand in hand that's a power
That's a power that must rule in every land:
One industrial union grand
Oh, would you have mansions of
Gold in the sky and live in a shack that's
All way in the back?
Would you have wings up in heaven to fly
And starve here with rags on your back?
But there is power
There is power in a band of workingfolks
When they stand hand in hand that's a power
That's a power that must rule in every land:
One industrial union grand
Oh, if you like sluggers to beat in 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
But there is power
There is power in a band of workingfolks
When they stand hand in hand that's a power
That's a power that must rule in every land:

So come, all ye workers, from every land
And come, join the grand industrial band
Then we our share of this earth shall demand

Applause power to the union!
Applause whistling
