“Proletary Host Advancing” Karaoke (midi with lyrics).
Lyrics: Bouck White.
Tune: “Hold the Fort.”
Proletary host advancing,
Men and maidens fair.
Boys and matrons, youth and elders,
Strong to do and dare.
Let the watchfires kindle nightly,
Lighting up the sky.
Hark, the trumpets calling brightly.
Victory is nigh!
See, my comrades, see the signal!
Send the tidings far.
Reinforcements now appearing,
Grid ye for the war.
Let the watchfires kindle nightly,
Lighting up the sky.
Hark, the trumpets calling brightly.
Victory is nigh!
Industry’s sad conflict rages,
But our help is near.
Ours, the crucified Commander!
Cheer, my comrades, cheer.
Let the watchfires kindle nightly,
Lighting up the sky.
Hark, the trumpets calling brightly.
Victory is nigh!
See our ruddy banner waving;
Parasites bend low.
In the toilers’ cause we’ll triumph
Over every foe.
Let the watchfires kindle nightly,
Lighting up the sky.
Hark, the trumpets calling brightly.
Victory is nigh!
