Songs of the Industrial Workers of the World (4th Australian edition)/The "Blanket Stiff"

THE "BLANKET STIFF."

He built the road,
With others of his class he built the road,
Now o'er it, many a weary mile, he packs his load,
Chasing a job, spurred on by hunger's goad,
He walks and walks and walks and walks,
And wonders why in Hell he built the road.
