NY: Where The "Hudson" River Flows

Where the [Hudson] river flows, each fellow worker knows,

They have bullied and oppressed us, but still our union grows.

And we're going to find a way, boys, for shorter hours and better pay, boys

And we're going to win the day, boys, where the river [Hudson] flows.

For these gunny-sack contractors have all been dirty actors,

And they're not our benefactors, each fellow worker knows.

So we've got to stick together in fine or dirty weather,

And we will show no white feather, where the [Hudson] river flows.

Now the boss the law is stretching, bulls and pimps he's fetching,

And they are a fine collection, as Jesus only knows.

But why their mothers reared them, and why the devil spared them,

Are questions we can't answer, where the [Hudson] River flows.
