D. Cridge) We're Communists and Socialists And dynamiters, too; We're slaves of walking delegatess* Who tell us what to do, There's nothing we should kick about, We've all got "cheek" sublime; But we're "bone and sinew of the land," About Election Time. We're howlers of calamity, We're crazy flat fools, We're lawless scum and foreign scruff, And "stubborner nor mules." They threaten us with Gatling guns And in our "hair to climb"; But we're "thinking toilers of the land," About Election Time. We're wild-eyed hayseeds, lazy shirks, Alliance traitors, knaves; We're looters of the vaults of wealth, And our speaker always "raves"; We're a danger to the country And Republic all the time; But we're "honest, sturdy farmers," About Election Time. We're everything that's vile and mean, For twice three hundred days; Nihilists, thugs and Pinkertons Are urged on us to blaze, If we but demand justice, As against a gilded crime; But we're "valiant hosts of labor," About Election Time. They tell us of protection, And the glory of a tax; The right of honest capital To ride upon our backs; Our comfort and prosperity (Though we haven't got a dime), And to once more save the party, About Election Time. They tax us, and they drive us, And mock us in our woe; They tell us we're responsible, Though they know it isn't so; And we stand right up and take it, While the "bloats" their pockets line, Oh, we're several milLion darndest fools, About Election Time * The term "walking delegates was used to describe union organizers who were accused of using unscrupulous tactics to coerce workers into joining.
