verses are set to the music of The
River Shannon" and are as follows:
Way out in Colorado,
Out in the Golden West
Way out among the Rockies.
Where the eagles build their nest,
Is a .sublunary heaven
Where our pilgrims chance to roam
Where the aged live in comfort
In the Union Printers Home.
Home is next TO Heaven,
Next to mansions in the skies,
Where eternal homes are given
To the printer when he dies:
Because he's true and faithful
As mothers to their own
He is fighting for the label
And the Union Printers Homei
Always the friend of labor,
But his work may all be done;
He was never known to waver.
Tho his race is all but run;
He may be old and feeble,
Bur he's never left alone
He is fighting for the label
And the Union Printers Home,
When my printing days are over,
When I've lost my shooting stick;
When I've ceased to be n rover,
When my rule has ceased to click;
Take me out in Colorado
Where the printers ever prone
To sing the praises of the label
And the Union Printers Homei
