the last internationale - workers of the world - unite lyrics

Loading...

i come from east virginia
where i was born in an old back shed

my father moved us to new orleans
where he was forced to use his hands

then late one night they took him away from us
because he learned to use his head

my mother cried when the judge said “life”
the union was his only crime

i’m still told to leave it all behind
i spent my whole life on a picket line….

screaming, “workers, unitе!”
“don’t give up the fight”
“workers of thе world, unite!”
“unite!”

at my old age i’m still working as a slave
the bosses work you to your grave

they claim to be like common folk
they packed their bags when the levees broke
for five long days i watched the waters rise
i was forgotten and left to die

i’ve got no country
i’ve got no home
or no one to call my own

i’m driftin’ back to east virginia
i’m going back to that ol’ dark shed

i remember what my father said
when he was waiting on line for bread…

screaming, “workers, unite!”
“don’t give up the fight”
“workers of the world, unite!”
“unite!”

“workers, unite!”
“don’t give up the fight”
“workers of the world, unite!”
“unite!”
