I first heard this song on Songs of the Lincoln & Int'l. Brigade/Southern Mtn. Hoedown (note track 11) with Woody Guthrie, Pete seeger, et al. I'm delighted to find out it still has a living presence. I always
thought it lent itself to improvisation. :) bTW, it's really International Brigade/Lincoln Battalion.

When I was a kid in the '70s, we sang "There is Power in the blood" in my Southern Baptist church.

I have to say I'm glad Joe Hill came up with some different lyrics for some of these hymns. ;)
