THE PROLETARIAN PRESIDENTS: THE GRAPHICAL HISTORY OF A SOCIALIST AMERICA
"We meet to die in freedoms cause
And raise our voices high.
We'll join our hands in union strong
To battle or to die.
Hold the fort
For we are coming,
Union men be strong.
Side by side keep pressing onward,
Victory will come.
Look my comrades
See the union banner waving high.
Reinforcements now appearing
Victory is nigh.
Hold the fort
For we are coming,
Union men be strong.
Side by side keep pressing onward,
Victory will come.
See our numbers still increasing
Hear the bugles blow.
By our union we shall triumph
Over every foe.
Hold the fort
For we are coming,
Union men be strong.
Side by side keep…"
