Tune:  “Little By Little” by Junior Wells

In the 1930s we were on the rise.

Workers everywhere were getting’ organized.

CHORUS:      Little by little, union power slipped away.

                        Bit by bit, we got to where we are today.

In the postwar years we were at our peak.

We’d won living wages and a fair workweek. 

CHORUS

Somewhere ‘long the way, we got off the track.

But the time has come to win our power back. 

CHORUS

For far too long we’ve seen a downward slide,

But now it’s time for us to turn the tide.

Little by little, we’ll bring union power back,

Bit by bit, we’ll beat back the attack..

Little by little, we’ll bring union power back.
