Come comrades come your glasses clinkA
Up with your hands a health to drinkA
The health of all that workers beB
In every land on every seaB
And he that will this health denyC
Down among the dead men down among the dead menD
Down down down downE
Down among the dead men let him lieC
-
Well done now drink another toastF
And pledge the gath'ring of the hostF
The people armed in brain and handG
To claim their rights in every landG
And he that will this health denyC
Down among the dead men down among the dead menD
Down down down downE
Down among the dead men let him lieC
-
There's liquor left come let's be kindH
And drink the rich a better mindH
That when we knock upon the doorI
They may be off and say no moreI
And he that will this health denyC
Down among the dead men down among the dead menD
Down down down downE
Down among the dead men let him lieC
-
Now comrades let the glass blush redJ
Drink we the unforgotten deadJ
That did their deeds and went awayK
Before the bright sun brought the dayK
And he that will this health denyC
Down among the dead men down among the dead menD
Down down down downE
Down among the dead men let him lieC
-
The Day Ah friends late grows the nightL
Drink to the glimmering spark of lightL
The herald of the joy to beB
The battle torch of thee and meB
And he that will this health denyC
Down among the dead men down among the dead menD
Down down down downE
Down among the dead men let him lieC
-
Take yet another cup in handG
And drink in hope our little bandG
Drink strife in hope while lasteth breathM
And brotherhood in life and deathM
And he that will this health denyC
Down among the dead men down among the dead menD
Down down down downE
Down among the dead men let him lieC
