Long-haired preachers come out every night,
Try to tell you what's wrong and what's right;
But when asked how 'bout something to eat,
They will answer with voices so sweet:
You will eat, bye and bye,
In that glorious land above the sky;
Work and pray, live on hay,
You'll get pie in the sky when you die. (ang.)

Joe Hill słynne cytaty
There are women of many descriptions,
In this queer world, as everyone knows.
Some are living in beautiful mansions,
And are wearing the finest of clothes.
There are blue blooded queens and princesses,
Who have charms made of diamonds and pearl;
But the only and thoroughbred lady
Is the Rebel Girl. (ang.)
utwór poświęcony uczestniczkom strajku w zakładach tekstylnych w Lawrence w stanie Massachusetts, a w szczególności postaci Elizabeth Gurley Flynn.
