Union Songs - May Wrongs

These two men died with a rope dangling Them from a tree Like they were ******* in southern Captivity. Why could they not make labor day in May? The proper way to commemorate a life Is on the day the life changed history. These two men, they died And history for all workers was the same For all are now scorched by hate That torch those who bears Afric's name. They died manacled to their dreams Coffled to our history They died to change the workers lot To put more food in starving pots They died, and with them died The movement's greatest pride.
