APPENDIX IX
SELECTIONS FROM THE I. W. W. SONG BOOK[742]
ARE YOU A WOBBLY?
BY JOE FOLEY
(Tune: "Are You from Dixie?")
Hello, there, worker, how do you do?
You're up against it; broke, hungry, too.
Don't be surprised, you're recognized,
I know a slave by the look in his eyes.
You want what I want--well, that's liberty,
Your frowning face seems to tell it to me.
Where there's a will, Bill, there's a way, Bill,
So listen to what I say.
CHORUS
Are you a wobbly? then listen, Buddy,
For the One Big Union beckons to you--
The Workers' Union, the Industrial Union;
Tell every slave you see along the line:
It makes no difference what your color,
Creed or sex or kind,
If you are a worker, then it's kick right in and join.
Become a wobbly and then we'll probably
Free ourselves from slavery.
