Looking through my neglected songbook collection, I discovered a Xeroxed copy of the Boss's Songbook. I can, thus, confirm the parody words but there was more. Instead of the "Which side are you on" refrain, they sang, " Join the YSL/ See you first in Hell" For the benefit of those Mudcatters who are not, yet, geriatric, YSL was the Young Socialists League, a slinter group who had left the YPSL, the Young People's Socialist League. (We pronounced it yips'l. Ah, sweet youth.)

I have played at many solidarity meetings and strike rallies and I always use Which Side Are You On to rouse the crowd. I change the words to fit the occasion. I also use We're Gonna Roll The Union On and We Shall Not Be Moved, adding the names of the "heros" and "villains".
