Union Maid

[2large]

Yeah, the video is dated regarding Edwards, but the message remains the same.

I recently read that Labor was getting behind #OccupyWallStreet - this is a good thang. Maybe more folks will realize how powerful Corporate America has become and what that mean for us and future Americans.

Change is inevitable - we have some say on what change occurs - of course compromise will bring us closer to a "more perfect union" as long as there is compromise on all sides.

Peace!

Nice job but rather useless now that Edwards is thoroughly discredited as a politician...I'd suggest editing out him and all other current politicians.

I hope young American people get this message and take it to heart. It's crucial.

The 'tune' for the song is an old-time standard called 'Redwing', or 'Little Redwing'. Lyrics are much later than the tune.

[davidgriffen]

That's the spirit, now lets all support John Edwards.

Watch the movie "bound for glory." Woody sangs this song to workers (in the movie) and the company thugs grabbed his guitar and smashed it.

[krimel301]

I know this movie too- the spirit of the song is great and sarah has a great voice

I just recently discovered Woody Guthrie through Bob Dylan's work. Was this song written by Woody, or is it a traditional song w/ unknown origins? Thanks for posting, I enjoyed it!

[amyewilliford]

You are absolutely correct that this is a Woody Guthrie song (at least the lyrics). I am not sure about the tune, because even with This Land is Your Land the lyrics are Woody's but the tune is traditional.

[amyewilliford]

You did a fantastic job with this video. Thanks for posting this.

Great rendition of this classic union song by Sarah Lee Guthrie, the author's granddaughter. Remember to support Dennis Kucinich for president!
