Red November, black November.
Bleak November, black and red;
Hallowed month of Labor's martyrs,
Labor's heroes, Labor's dead.
Labor's hope and wrath and sorrow -
Red the promise, Black the threat;
Who are we not to remember?
Who are we to dare forget!
Black and red the colors blended.
Black and red the pledge we made;
Red, until the fight is ended,
Black, until the debt is paid.
