Can you help me giving the lyrics of three songs I heard in a film about Woody Guthrie's life, "This land is my land"? I mean: - the one the folksinger who will become Woody's talent-scout sings when he goes to sing with the workers: I remember a verse said "Workers of the world, unite" or something; - the one Woody and this friend sing at the union meeting: something like "but they can't cheat me, I'm sticked to the Union" - the one Woody sings alone when he goes in a factory, then being kicked out by the bosses.

I'm sorry, I don't know much about W.G. and I still have some problem with English.

The one song I think you are referring to is "Union Maid" which is in our database (to the tune of "Red Wing"). I haven't seen the movie in quite awhile, so the other song could be any number of Woody's songs.

CLICK HERE to go to a site with some good info about Woody.

A very good lyric site for a lot of Woody's songs can be found by CLICKING HERE

Good Luck and welcome to Mudcat......If we can help in any other ways, please let us know!
