Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDECE FGFGHIHHI JKJLIII MDMFNINN| I met a lonely Labor man | A |
| Forlorn and pessimistic | B |
| Who'd not yet fallen 'neath the ban | A |
| Of leagues antagonistic | B |
| With an expression greatly peeved | C |
| His listless eye beheld me | D |
| 'Comrade ' said I 'Why are you grieved ' | E |
| A most prodigious sigh he heaved | C |
| And said 'They've not expelled me ' | E |

| Said he 'Why should I be passed by | F |
| And left alone to suffer | G |
| Ignored unless it be that I | F |
| Am counted as a duffer | G |
| That they should with especial pains | H |
| Exclude me from expulsion | I |

| 'Amongst the legion of the left | J |
| Shorn of the last lorn vestige | K |
| Of fame of all my pals bereft | J |
| What hope have I of prestige | L |
| I watch them going one by one | I |
| The men who Labor's work have done | I |
| While I'm left out of all the fun | I |
| Why am I so ill fated ' | - |

| 'Cheer up ' said I 'For some day hence | M |
| If you work diligently | D |
| You may speak words of common sense | M |
| designed or accident'ly | F |
| Then out you'll go unpon your neck | N |
| Unkless I'm much mistaken | I |
| Else you'll remain at ill luck's beck | N |
| A sailor clinging to a wreck | N |
| By all the crew forsaken ' | - |
