john warner - bring out the banners كلمات أغنية

in faded photo, like a dream
a locomotive under steam
rolls with the ranks of marching feet
and union banners on the street

chorus
bring out the banners once again
you union women, union men
that all around may plainly see
the power of our unity

i’ve seen those banners richly made
with symbols fair of craft and trade
the union’s names in red and gold
their aspirations printed bold

boilermakers, smiths and cooks
stevedores with cargo hooks
declare their union strong and proud
rank on rank before the crowd

they won the eight-hour working day
they won our right to honest pay
victorious their banners shone
how dare we lose what they have won?

today, when those who rule divide
we must be standing side by side
our rights were bought with tears and pain
bring out the banners once again
