The Battle Of Cable Street Lyrics
by Wegrowbeards
1936, Europe's facing fascists.
England has Mosley and his black shirted army.
A provocative march through Jewish east London
Protected by police, defied by the population.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e46757-wegrowbeards~the_battle_of_cable_street_lyrics.html ]
We believe in equality, every man is free... marching as we sing old songs.
"We'll hang Oswald Mosley on a sour apple tree... when the red revolution comes".
"I was moved to tears to see bearded Jews and Irish Catholic dock workers,
standing up together against the hated black shirts.
I shall never forget that as long as I live,
How working-class people could get together to oppose the evil of racism."
