According to Bragg, on the 8/1/2011 broadcast of "Democracy Now!" (SEGMENT AVAILABLE ON YOUTUBE, UPLOADED BY D.N. THEMSELVES!!!), the TITLE is inspired by the Joe Hill song, but the tune comes from an old American song "Battle Cry of Freedom" which, in turn, takes it's tune from an old English hymn.

Hey! I love this song!!
-
@TheGrumpytroll Joe Hill "all round real American" was, as far as I know ,Swedish :) but a great guy all the same.
-
This version was penned by Billy Bragg

Ah go easy on 'em. Yeah it's vital to know your history. But labor shouldn't divide itself over who's a 'poser' or not. Their hearts are in the right place.

-
Try listening This song was written by Joe Hill, and there are versions by Billy Bragg, Utah Phillips, Street Dogs and many more.

"This next song... ah it's a good Street Dogs song..."

Billy Bragg's version is tremendous and it was the BEST thing around during the Miner's Strike in the UK in the 80s but he'd be the first to say it's not his song: it come from Union organizer, Christian Anarchist, and all round real American, Joe Hill, go to wikipedia and look him up... he truly rocks!
