lyrics

Have you ever been down to Haymarket?
Come on put your boots on and get set.
Tens of thousands in the street.
8 hours is what we seek.

Have you heard the Pinkerton's have got a bomb?
Hired thugs. Who knows where they're from?
Tens of thousands in the street.
8 hours is what we seek.

(Chorus)
Tell it like is boys, we can't be duped.
Haymarket Square!
They sell the lies and we tell the truth.
Haymarket Square!

The people at the podium speak for us.
An 8 hour day would be glorious.
Tens of thousands in the street.
8 hours is what we seek.

Someone kills a policeman with a bomb.
The Pinkerton's smile as we're shot upon.
Tens of thousands in the street.
8 hours is what we seek.

(Chorus)

Chaos ensues and the bullets fly.
Mayday for the worker is the reason why.
50 lay dead in the street.
Gotta fight and die or we'll face defeat.

(Chorus)

We fought down there, we died down there.
