| Though proudly the victor comes | B |
| With fluttering flags and prancing nags | C |
| And echoing roll of drums | B |

| Until it is settled right | E |

| Though the heel of the strong oppressor | G |
| May grind the weak to dust | H |
| And the voices of fame with one acclaim | I |
| May call him great and just | H |
| Let those who applaud take warning | J |
| And keep this motto in sight | E |

| Until it is settled right | E |

| Let those who have failed take courage | K |
| Tho' the enemy seems to have won | L |
| Tho' his ranks are strong if he be in the wrong | M |
| The battle is not yet done | L |
| For as sure as the morning follows | N |
| The darkest hour of the night | E |
| No question is ever settled | F |

| O man bowed down with labor | G |
| O woman young yet old | O |
| O heart oppressed in the toiler's breast | P |
| And crushed by the power of gold | O |
| Keep on with your weary battle | Q |
| Against triumphant might | E |
| No question is ever settled | F |
| Until it is settled right | E |
