Thread Name: Union Songs for Modern Singers
Subject: RE: Union Songs for Modern Singers
The other kids had monsters under the bed; I was scared that the goons and ginks and company finks were coming. My mother used to sing me "Union Maid" and "Pie in the Sky When You Die." The Malvina Reynolds song about the Little Red Hen was always great too, and "Step by Step." We made up new verses to "Which Side Are You On" all the time. "Bread and Roses," and "El Pueblo Unido" and writing our own verses to Solidarity Forever were also favorites.
