London OldMan This land is WHOSE land? (117* d) RE: This land is WHOSE land? 15 Jul 20


Okay, but not sure that those 'missing' verses refer to the people who a mere century before were being slaughtered like animals.

There was a big hole in 'protest' songs - in the States, it was always the 'Indian' people, and sometimes the black ones. In the UK, it was often the victims of this country's imperialism, of whatever colour. And of course in both cultures, women's interests have only crept in recently!

We are all capable of being criticised, however noble our intentions are - Woody Guthrie included. But this is not an attack on Guthrie, or US protest songs, just a plea for those that got left out.
