''Red Fly the Banners, O, ''or ''Trotsky's Lament'' is a British and Irish folk song expressing (often tongue-in-cheek) Marxist-Leninist political views. It is based on, and sung to the tune of, the traditional English ballad ''Green Grow the Rushes, O''. ==Lyrics== Like many folk songs, ''Red Fly the Banners, O'' has multiple versions; all are cumulative in form. The Stalinist version builds to a 14th and final verse as follows: : I'll sing you fourteen, O! :: ''Red fly the banners, O!'' :: ''What is your fourteen, O?'' : Fourteen for the IQ of the average Trot, : Thirteen for the holes in Trotsky's head, : Twelve for the hours on the Kremlin clock, : Eleven for the Moscow Dynamos, : Ten for the days that shook the world, : Nine for the days of the General Strike, : Eight for the hours of the working day, : Seven for the stars on the Connolly's flag, : Six for the Tolpuddle Martyrs, : Five for the years of the Five-Year Plan : And four for the four years taken! : Three, three, the Rights of Man, : Two, two, the workers' arms, toiling for his living, O, : One is workers' unity and evermore shall be so! 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Red fly the banners o」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
