Farmers Alliance

The Farmer's Alliance

The Farmer's Alliance

Come all ye honest farmers, and help to right the wrong
Come join the Farmers Union, and push the cause along.
The trusts and politicians have formed a mighty ring
They rule the land with iron, Monopoly is king!

cho: Come, join the Alliance
     Join the alliance
     Join the Alliance
     And help to right our wrongs!

From pine-clad Maine to Texas, from East and West and South,
From Huron's heaving waters to Mississippi's mouth,
Is heard a swelling murmur, a low, but ominous sound
The farmer hosts are gathering upon the battle ground!

Our fifteen million farmers are rising in their might;
They're girding on their armor, and training for the fight;
They'll teach the politician in legislative hall,
He must respect the farmer, who clothes and feeds us all!
