Though there's never a dollar of all your wealth, But marks the workers' dead. We have yielded our best for to give you rest, And you lie on a crimson wool. Well if blood be the price of all your wealth, Good God! We have paid in full! Cause there’s never a mine blown skyward now, But we're buried alive for you. And there's never a wreck drifting shoreward now, But we are it’s ghastly crew. Come and reckon our dead by the forges red, And the factories where we spin. Oh if blood be the price of your cursed wealth, Good God! We have paid it in! We have fed you all for a thousand years, And that was our doom, you know.From the days when you chained men in your fields, To the strike of a week ago. You have taken our lives, our husbands and wives, Called it your legal share. But if blood be the price of your lawful wealth, Good God! We have bought it fair! Good God! We have bought it fair!
