BRING OUT THE BANNERS (John Warner ) In faded photo, like a dream, A locomotive under steam Rolls with the ranks of marching feet And union banners on the street. Cho: Bring out the banners once again, You union women, union men, That all around may plainly see The power of our unity. I've seen those banners richly made With symbols fair of craft and trade, The unions' names in red and gold, Their aspirations printed bold. Boilermakers, smiths and cooks, Stevedores with cargo hooks, Declare their union strong and proud, Rank on rank before the crowd. They won their eight-hour working day, They won our right to honest pay, Victorious their banners shone, How dare we lose what they have won? Today, when those who rule divide, We must be standing side by side, Our rights were bought with tears and pain, Bring out the banners once again. @union @political (Tune: Oxford or See Amid The Winter's Snow, John Goss 1800-1880) filename[ unionban HK Feb07 |
