Union Songs

Here we go

A song by Clem Parkinson 2006

- [play]

Here we go
Here we go
Here we go
With a roar that will sweep through the nation
United we stand and we know
We will never be denied

Strike a blow
Strike a blow
Strike a blow
Send the bosses to hell and to damnation
Like thunder our anger will grow
We'll make stand and build a land
That's free for ever

Here we go
Here we go
Here we go
With a roar that will sweep through the nation
United we stand and we know
We will never be denied

Strike a blow
Strike a blow
Strike a blow
Send the multis to hell and to damnation
Like thunder our anger will grow
We'll make stand and build a land
That's free for ever

Notes

Many thanks to Clem Parkinson for permission to add this song to the Union Songs collection.

This song began as a football chant sung to the tune of "Stars and Stripes Forever". It became the song of the striking miners in Britain in 1984 and has been rewritten here for the Australian battle against the Howard government's anti-union laws.
