 THE REBEL GIRL

Words and Music by Joe Hill

(Copyrighted, 1916) There are women of many descriptions
 * In this queer world, as everyone knows,

Some are living beautiful mansions,
 * And are wearing the finest of clothersclothes [sic].

There are blue blooded queens and princesses,
 * Who have charms made of diamonds and pearl;

But the only and thoroughbred lady
 * Is the Rebel Girl.

CHORUS That's the Rebel Girl, that's the Rebel Girl! To the working class she's a precious pearl. She brings courage, pride and joy To the fighting Rebel Boy. We've had girls before, but we need some more In the Industrial Workers of the World. For it's great fight for freedoffreedom [sic] With a Rebel Girl.

Yes, her hands may hardened from labor,
 * And her dress may not be very fine;

But a heart in her bosom is beating
 * That is true to her class and her kind.

And the grafters in terror are trembling
 * When her spite and defiance she'll hurl;

For the only and throughbredthoroughbred [sic] lady
 * Is the Rebel Girl.
