<pre><font size='+2'>AFTER THE STRIKE lyrics UNKNOWN</font><br>AFTER THE STRIKE<br />
(Joseph A. Hemer)<br />
 Air-`After the Ball`<br />
Once a pretty maiden climbed an old man`s knee<br />
Asked for a story-`Papa tell me,<br />
Why are you lonely, why are you sad,<br />
Why do your shopmates call you a scab?`<br />
I had friends, pet, long, long ye-ars ago,<br />
How I lost them you soon shall know;<br />
I`ll tell it all, pet, tell all my shame;<br />
I was a scab, pet, I was to blame.`<br />
cho: After the strike is over,<br />
 After the men have won,<br />
 After the shops have opened,<br />
 After the notice is down;<br />
 Many the heart is aching,<br />
 Though the hope seems bright<br />
 That many a scab will vanish<br />
 After the strike.<br />
Brave men were fighting, standing side by side,<br />
Fighting for justice, fighting with pride,<br />
I then was with them---with them heart and soul,<br />
But when the test came, I left them in the cold,<br />
I thought it best, pet, best to turn a scab;<br />
Best to return, pet, to the job I had,<br />
That`s why I`m lonely, that`s why I`m sad,<br />
That`s why my shopmates call me a scab.<br />
cho:<br />
Many years have passed, pet, since I won that name,<br />
And in song and story they have told my shame,<br />
I have tried to tell them, tried to explain,<br />
But they will not listen, pleading is in vain;<br />
Everywhere I wander, everywhere I roam,<br />
The story of my shame is sure to find my home,<br />
I`d give my life, pet, I`d give my all,<br />
If I had not turned traitor, or scabbed at all.<br />

AFTER THE STRIKE
(Joseph A. Hemer)
Air-`After the Ball`
Once a pretty maiden climbed an old man`s knee
Asked for a story-`Papa tell me,
Why are you lonely, why are you sad,
Why do your shopmates call you a scab?`
I had friends, pet, long, long ye-ars ago,
How I lost them you soon shall know;
I`ll tell it all, pet, tell all my shame;
I was a scab, pet, I was to blame.`
cho: After the strike is over,
After the men have won,
After the shops have opened,
After the notice is down;
Many the heart is aching,
Though the hope seems bright
That many a scab will vanish
After the strike.
Brave men were fighting, standing side by side,
Fighting for justice, fighting with pride,
I then was with them---with them heart and soul,
But when the test came, I left them in the cold,
I thought it best, pet, best to turn a scab;
Best to return, pet, to the job I had,
That`s why I`m lonely, that`s why I`m sad,
That`s why my shopmates call me a scab.
cho:
Many years have passed, pet, since I won that name,
And in song and story they have told my shame,
I have tried to tell them, tried to explain,
But they will not listen, pleading is in vain;
Everywhere I wander, everywhere I roam,
The story of my shame is sure to find my home,
I`d give my life, pet, I`d give my all,
If I had not turned traitor, or scabbed at all.
