Excerpt from Farmer's Songs, Vol. 1: By a Farmer for FarmersThough we labor from morning till night, And are willing do all we can, Some profit we think is, our right, As justice between man and man. Ally friend, true as steel, As justice at last must prevail, Ally friend true as steel, We all wrongs and all fraud must assail.In honor and truth is our strength, And to educate is our best plan, And he that is true will at length Be known as the true friend of man. Ally friend, true as steel, No deserter can ever be shown, Ally frien'd, true as steel, Or as a man of true honor be known.All trusts and combines that are made Under law, for to rob us of gain, By injustice of taxes or trade, No longer in force should remain. Ally friend, true as steel, morai worth will bring into view, Ally friend, true as steel, Do to others as you'd have them do.The cry has gone out o'er the land That farmers should rise in their might, For justice and truth take a stand, For manhood and liberty fight. Ally friend, true as steel, We will join in our councils and schools, Ally friend, true as steel, To uphold our just cause and its rules.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
