3) P.S. if You have not all the verses, that ago with the song Tie em up, I have another possible chance to trace them. In 1928-1929, I made a trip to my home in Hamburg, Germany and toke [sic] 6 Wobbly Song Books along, they where [sic] then at that time the latest edition and they most likely had the complete song and possible gave the tune also, but as far as I can remember, it has none of the tune and melody of any other song I know of, It is in a class by itself! I stayed 11 months in Germany, and had 2 Boys, who wanted to learn "English" and what better Book could I use than "the Wobbly Song" book, its the tune and the words that sure took them, well I gave each one of the Boys a Wobbly Song Book and kept one for myself as a text book, now this all was way before Hitler toke [sic] over, and in the meantime Hamburg was 2/3 destroyed, but as chance would have it my house kept standing, despite the fact that everything for 7 Block square was destroyed
