We Shall Not Be Moved (English)


Words by anonymous textile workers and melody (and a lot of the words, frankly) from a Black spiritual: "I Shall Not Be Moved"
Rise Up Singing chapter: Work, p.260

G - D - / - - G G7 / C - G - / - D G -
We shall not be, we shall not be moved (2x)
Just like a tree that's planted by the water
We shall not be moved

1. For the union is behind us, we shall not be moved...
2. We're fighting for our freedom, we shall not be moved...
3. We're fighting for our children, we shall not be moved...
4. We'll build a mighty union, we shall not be moved...
5. _________ is our leader, we shall not be moved...
6. We are black and white together, we shall not be moved...
7. We are young and old together, we shall not be moved...

Spanish version in the next video!
