Toiling On Life’s Pilgrim Pathway

Toiling on life’s pilgrim pathway
Wheresoever you maybe,
It will help you fellow workers
If you will join the I.L.D.

Chorus:
Come and join the I.L.D.
Come and join the I.L.D.
It will help to win the victory
If you will join the I.L.D.

When the bosses cut your wages
And you toil the labor free
Come and join the textile union
Also join the I.L.D.

Now our leaders are in prison
But I hope they will soon be free
Come and join the textile union
Also join the I.L.D.

Now the South is hedged in darkness
Although they begin to see
Come and join the textile union
Also join the I.L.D.
