Thanks for asking, Maeve. The songbook is "Songs of the Workers to Fan the Flames of Discontent", the Little Red Songbook of the IWW, 2005 ed. The trouble was, the book is only 5-inches square and thin, so it was hard to spot among all the other material. I want to do more labor-oriented songs, considering I live in the Detroit area. I am putting together a set of social justice songs, using Rick Fielding's song "Voices of Struggle" as the backbone, then adding the songs that he referenced or some similar songs.

I tried to find a link to Rick's song, in case anybody isn't familiar with it, but something seems to be wrong with "Search" right now, because nothing came up. I can post the lyrics, if anybody wants them.
