Rebel Girl (Joe Hill)

by The Henry Girls

on Far Beyond the Stars (2017)

She's a rebel girl, a rebel girl
She's the working class, the strength of this world
And I'm proud to fight for freedom with a rebel girl

There are women of many descriptions
In this cruel world as everyone knows
Some are living in beautiful mansions
And are wearing the finest of clothes
There's the blue blooded queen or the princess
Who have charms made of diamonds and pearls
But the only and thoroughbred lady is the rebel girl

She's a rebel girl, a rebel girl
She's the working class, the strength of this world
From Maine to Georgie you'll see her fighting for you and for me
Yes she's there by your side with her courage and pride
She's unequaled anywhere
And I'm proud to fight for freedom with a rebel girl

Though her hands may be hardened from labour
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 bosses know that they can't change her
She's die to defend the workers world
And the only and thoroughbred lady is the rebel girl
