Words: J. D. Crutchfield Tune: "Almost Persuaded" by Philip P. Bliss

"Almost persuaded to join the OBU. "Almost persuaded my duty to do." Hear the timid worker say, "Organizer, go away, "On some more convenient day "Then I'll call on you."

"Almost persuaded," says Scissor Bill. "Almost persuaded, someday I will. "When the union's stronger; "Wait a little longer. When I think that you can win, Then your card I'll fill!"

"Almost persuaded," the campaign is lost! "Almost persuaded," but now he pays the cost! "Almost" got a raise in pay; "Almost" got a shorter day! "It's no use!" we hear him say: "Just can't beat the boss!"

===== ***************************************************************** "The sheep feels best, safest, and happiest in the flock, where it has nothing else to do but graze, grow wool, and give birth to lambs. Once the new office workers had reached that stage, when their intellectual capacity and their ambition had become like those of sheep in a flock, that was when they had begun to be useful and reliable pillars of the Company they worked for and which paid them their salary."

from B. Traven's TROZAS
