Great 1 man play movie. I share this and Arlo Guthrie's Harry Bridges all over and over again. Had never heard of Harry until Arlo's video about him. Think Woody wrote it. W need every last Harry Bridges that we can find today.
There's a deep and rich labor history to these lyrics. The poem, of unknown authorship, was printed on the cover of the constitution of the American Miners' Association, 1864. See an image scanned from a book published by Edward A. Wieck, 1940, at the bottom of my Docs Populi Labor Culture page (alas, links not allowed here).
What a gorgeous version of this song. I'm sending this out on Twitter for Labor Day. Wish Labor Day was observed with more of its original meaning. We forget that workers gave their lives for us to have the working conditions we take for granted today.
