This song was the subject of an excellent BBC Radio Scotland programme called "Songlines" a month or so ago.

It's not available online (www.bbc.co.uk/radioscotland) any more, but this series was thought-provoking and memorable, featuring among other songs: "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?", The Freedom Come-All-Ye, and the Billy Bragg song.

If it ever crops up anywhere else on BBC, make sure to listen. It's the best sort of radio- educational, entertaining, absorbing.
