Bandiera Rossa Bandiera Rossa
Italian revolutionary song. Translates as 'The Red Flag.'
Bread and Roses Bread and Roses
Lyrics were written by James Oppenheim after he was inspired by the struggles of working women in the Lawrence textile strike of 1912. There`ve been a few lyrical alterations of the years, but another classic, revolutionary song.
Einheitsfront (United Front Song) Einheitsfront (United Front Song)
Anti-Nazi song from the Weimar Republic. Written by the famous playwright and poet Bertold Brecht.
The Minstrel Boy The Minstrel Boy
Irish revolutionary song by Thomas Moore (1779-1852) inspired by the 1798 rebellion of the United Irishmen. The song gained popularity as an anti-slavery battle cry by Irish soldiers in the Union ranks during the U.S. Civil War. No, I am not Irish.
We Have Fed You All a Thousand Years We Have Fed You All a Thousand Years
The title says it all! Very powerful lyrically..
The Preacher and the Slave The Preacher and the Slave
Famous Joe Hill song about the need to look beyond the lies about a better life in the 'by and by' towards the struggle for a better life for all in this life.
There is Power in a Union There is Power in a Union
Another Joe Hill song. This one is to the tune of the hymn There is Power in the Blood of the Lamb. Hill, of course, improved the lyrics quite a bit.
Stand Up! Ye Workers Stand Up! Ye Workers
POSSIBLY the worst Wobbly song...Why did I record it? I have no idea. It`s by Ethel Comer and it`s to the tune of Stand Up for Jesus. You`d think the formula of singing revolutionary lyrics to Christian hymns could never go wrong. Apparently it can.
Untitled Spanish Civil War Song Untitled Spanish Civil War Song
This is a work in progress that I`ve been writing for quite some time. I`m currently not happy with it. It needs some more verses. Feel free to take what I have and work with it. It`s D/A/f#/A D/e/D/G/D/A/D Pretty simple stuff.
