The Rebel Girl
Words & music by Joe Hill
Published 1915

There are two women of many descriptions
In this queer world as everyone knows
Some are living in beautiful mansions
And are wearing the finest of clothes
There are blue blooded queens and princesses
Who have charms made of diamonds and pearl
But the only and thoroughbred lady
Is the Rebel Girl.

[chorus]
That's the Rebel Girl,
That's the Rebel Girl
To the working class she's a precious pearl
She brings courage pride and joy
to the fighting Rebel Boy
We have girls before but we need some more in the
Industrial workers of the world
For it's great to fight for freedom
With a Rebel Girl

Yes, her hands may be harden'd from labor
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 grafters in terror are trembling
When her spite and defiance she'll hurl
For the only and thoroughbred lady
Is the Rebel Girl

[repeat chorus]
