This guy, one Raymond Crooke from Oz Down Under, is a new guru of mine.
He's committed to posting 1000 folks songs over 1000 days.
A few, God help us, drift into "Peter, Paul and Mary" territory but there's lots and lots of good, older stuff.
This song, with slightly more activist wording, was the unofficial theme song of the Spokane, Washington branch of the IWW.
Entering, as we are, into yet another cycle where all the worker bees at the bottom of the heap take it in the ass, it's worth remembering that people used to have the balls to say:
"Fuck y'uns, Captains of Industry. Unplug your own damned toilets."
