Which side are you on - Ascott women Verses in unison, chorus in harmony 1. "Come all of you good workers, your labourers on the land, You've got to join the union, not undercut our men." 2. We 16 Ascott women, we tried to make them join, We wanted union rights for all who work our precious soil. 3. They tried us for coercion, they sentenced us to jail, Hard labour served in Oxford, it didn't make us fail. |
4.The people came in number to protest against the law, The law that's made by rich men to persecute the poor. 5. The union gave us money, but told us we were wrong, They couldn't see the future, the struggle carries on. 6. So come all of you brave women, who stand beside your men, The fight for rights is up to us, and we'd do it all again. |
