You can't find anything on him, because, his real name is Shelby Wooley. He sings under Sheb Wooley, Ben Colder and only 1 album under Guy Drake.

@ThePunkPatriot You are so off on this one. I was 13 in 1969 when this came out and it wasn't the usual type of music I listened to , but the people I babysat for had this record, I thought it to be amusing at the time but really couldn't grasp it's true message till I grew up and paid a whole lot of taxes so others can sit on their asses and complain that we're not working hard enough or that we are selfish for wanting the full fruits of our labors. I am tired of the distain. for us workers.

Ok...
lets put our money where our mouth is...
Ending welfare for the poor will take a while to do,
So lets end CORPORATE WELFARE (welfare condensed and consolidated) - FIRST - then we can lead by example !!!
what da y'all think ?

sounds like the american dream :)

This was my Grand Father...and just reading some of the questions from earlier posts. He ( Guy Drake ) wrote this song and NO it was never banned. The song went "gold" and after it fizzled, he sold the copyright.
If he were still around, he would not believe how true this song STILL is.

all these years later & it's still true...
perhaps a new version should be written to include Obama's healthcare reform???
once upon a time in America if you didn't work you didn't eat
And taxes were cheap.
Now you can lay on your ass
and be supported by the working class.
