source: SHEARERS RECORD NEWSPAPER Jan 1890 SITE SOURCE: Labour History THE SONG OF THE UNION MENCome let us be banded together1 place in. each other our trust And may we in heart never sever Or flinch from a cause that is just Come give me your hand while we're singing It will make it sound sweeter and then Our song through the world will be ringing With cheers for the Union Men CHORUS Three cheers for the Union men (repeat) The place will resound with our singing Three cheers for the Union men Oh why should there be such ill feeling? There's room in the world for us all And we as true men are revealing A debt that the great owe the snail The fight will "but last for a season The peace will return as before When men to each other show reason The strife of the past will be over So let us be true to each other Our rights we are sure to obtain For small is the loss & the bother Compared to the prize we shall gain When gone to our last cold oblivion And all earthly duties are done Three cheers by our sons will be given When told how the victory was won REPEAT CHORUS
