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.

Lyrics
Stand up! Stand up! Ye workers, Stand up in all your might. Unite beneath our banner, For liberty and right. From victory unto victory - This army sure will go, To win the world for labor And vanquish every foe. Stand up! Stand up! Ye workers; Stand up in every land, Unite and fight for freedom In ONE BIG UNION grand. Put on the workers' armor Which is the card of Red, Then all the greedy tyrants Will have to earn their bread. Arouse! Arouse! Ye toilers, The strife will not be long. This day the noise of battle, The next the victor's song. All ye that slave for wages, Stand up and break your chain: Unite in ONE BIG UNION - You've got a world to gain.
