‘The writer tenders this ballad not as a worshiper of Eugene V. Debs, but as one, who by association and knowledge has learned to love him because of his sterling character, his unwavering loyalty and years of unselfish service in the interest of the toiling masses.’

A song written and self-published by IWW activist and labor poet Ellis B Harris on the occasion of Debs’ entry into Federal prison after being found guilty on ten counts of sedition. The PDF has a handwritten inscription from Ellis to Debs’ brother Theodore:

‘To my beloved Comrade, Theodore Debs,

4-1919

Ellis B. Harris’

We Will Follow Brave Debs to the End (Song) by Ellis B Harris. Published by Harris & Gannes, Chicago. 1919.
