One Red Flag

One red flag, one red flag
Just one red flag can keep the spark within our hearts still burning
We will not sag, nor will we lag
We will not sag nor will we lag we're not for turniing

(Chorus)
So let's make hay, while May Day shines
While May Day shines the workers spines are not for breaking
And while May Day shines we'll always find
While May Day shines we'll always find there's hay for making.

The worker's song can keep us strong
The workers song can keep us strong our day is dawning
And when it dawns we'll right the wrongs
When it dawns we'll right the wrongs for we are longing.

The earth the moon we'll have them soon
The earth the moon we'll have them soon maybe tomorrow
And when that blossom blooms we'll rid the gloom
When that blossom blooms we'll rid the gloom, the grief and sorrow.

(repeat chorus)

One red flag, one red flag, one red flag......fade.
