My favorite septuagenarian folkies have been trying to teach me "The Horse With A Union Label" so I can help them lead it at a song circle. The trouble is, they don't quite remember the tune. I printed out the MIDI tune from the Digital Tradition, but they say it isn't quite right. Is there anyone out there who knows the song and can check the tune for me and get me the right one? It would be best to post the tune here in ABC format, or to e-mail it to me as an attachment.
I understand the song is in the "People's Songbook." If anybody has a copy of that songbook that they'd like to sell, let me know. Thanks.

Well, my songbook collection has increased quite a bit since 1997. I actually have two copies of the People's Song Book, and one of the Second People's Song Book. They're real treasures. Amergin linked to Yet Another Digital Tradition, which is a mirror of the lyrics and tune we have here in the Digital Tradition.
I compared the DT tune with that in the People's Songbook, and they're identical. It's kind of a difficult tune. I think I'd have to hear somebody sing it - this one would be hard to learn from a MIDI.
