 Skookum Ryan, the Walking Boss (FRAGMENT) (JOE HILL) (c. 1912)

Louis Moreau, a Wobbly "camp delegate" who helped organize the construction workers [of the
       Canadian Northern Railroad Company in British Columbia, 1912]... remembers that Joe Hill... appeared in
       the strikers' camp in Yale, British Columbia.... Moreau remembers seeing Joe Hill often in the office of the
       Yale strike secretary writing songs. "Where The River Fraser Flows" was written during the first few
       days Hill was in the camp....

       Another song, "Skookum Ryan, the Walking Boss," was very popular and consisted of five or six stanzas
       of which Moreau remembers one....

Lyrics (one stanza) as remembered by Moreau, reprinted ibid.
 
 

       Skookum Ryan the Walking Boss
       Came tearing down the line,
       Says he, "You dirty loafers take your coats off
       Or go and get your time."
