For a taste of how the song ought to sound, listen to this 78 (http://www.archive.org/details/Ernest_Thomoson)of the original tune "Are You From Dixie" by Ernest Thompson

Are You a Wobbly, by Joe Foley 1906?
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 is a way, Bill
So listen 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 color,
creed or sex or kind
If you're a worker then it's kick right in and join!
Become a Wobbly, and then we'll probably
Free Ourselves from slavery.

You like the idea but then you say
"How can we do it? When is the day?"
When all the ladies and all the babies
and every man who works for a wage
Gets in the union - One Grand Union
All hands together we'll make our demands
When you and I, Bill, lay down our tools, Bill
Fold up our arms, Bill and walk off the job.
