Boys of the Right Brigade

(By E. Moyle)

(Tune, “ Where are the Boys of the Old.”)

W T e are the Boys of the Right Brigade, Firmly we take our stand; Shoulder to Shoulder,' Slave by Slave, We’ll fight till We win the Land. Steady and undismayed are we, Nobly in Freedom’s Cause; Inside the One Big Union, We are the ones who’ll do. (Chorus.) Then herald the. Revolution, Shout for we’re going to the fray; Our mission’s true, so its now up to you, To join this sound Brigade. Then herald the Revolution, Shout for we’re going to the fray; Workers unite, engage in the fight, And get more for yourselves each day. We are the Boys of ..':he Righ?. Brigade, Of every nation rn Knowing no couifi . or race, Ours is no ho> ; The strength o' Uih:m is secure, The power of our foe is known; So stand by you;- fellows in the war. And tyranny is overthrown. (Chorus.) Then on to controlling of all workshops, Unite for the owning of your job; You need have no Boss, He shows a Loss, So put him where he can not Rob. Don’t let the fakir politician have you, Drive him to the mill to be of use; Your might is your right, so organise and fight, With your might in the Right Brigade.

We are the Boys of the Right Brigade, , All of use of one Class; Our ranks are strong and victory sure, Because our welfare is that of the Mass.

The wages of sin are defined as death, A poor thing to have in your purse; But the workers of the world they understand, That the bosses’ are a dam’nd sight worse.

, (Chorus.) So fight for the Class that you belong

Scratch no longer for another’s gain; You’ve got to work, so let no others shirk,

Make robbery a task in vain. Then hail the coming of united labor, On scientific lines we are arrayed; We stand and never fall, so come join and win all, With the Boys of the Right Brigade.
