  • I can't recall the poet's name...oddly a man...but Mimi Farina wrote the music and Judy Collins sings it so beautifully. Does anyone know if there is a live tape of Judy or anyone else performing this? I love Judy and Mimi for this and my brother poet whos name I forget...forgive me.

  • It was written about 1912 by James Oppenheim in response to a women's textile worker strike. I don't know of any live versions-- but I would think there must be one! Please let me know if you have any luck finding one.

  • It's on one of Judy's albmums - by the same name and I believe it's available at amazon.

  • At least three times a year the senior class at Bryn Mawr College sings this song - accompanied by the underclasswomen lifting lit lanterns in support - as part of one of our many traditions. I recorded it once, but it isn't online yet. We don't sound quite as good (due to not being professionals, and often crying while singing), but it's lovely nonetheless.

  • Thanks for the poets name...I'll let you know, as I'm looking especially for anything with Mimi...I adore her & think somewhere she or Judy maybe Joan sang it and SOMEBODY has it on film. All the best. Briar

  • I like the slideshow...but the echo is a bit annoying when you want to just want to hear the song. But it's good overall.
