The IWW song "We Have Fed You All For A Thousand Years" is apparently a re-write of Rudyard Kipling's poem, "The Song of the Dead" ("We have fed our sea...").

In this thread, I've transcribed the text and inquired about the musical setting, by Von Liebich. If you've got info about that tune, please reply in that thread. Thanks.

Well, DD, that is nice, but the lyrics were already in the DT. Utah Phillips does it so the tune shouldn't be too hard to find.Art, etc? Help out here? No,the tune is not clickable link, haven't checked the 'new' additions a la MMario et al.

Oh, darn, it's been a busy couple of days and I didn't do all the homework I should have. Anyway, tune still needed. A friend has a vague memory of hearing it from Utah Phillips...

I found the tune in the IWW Little Red Songbook. Thanks to Big Mick, who gave me his only copy. Apparently, the tune is not the same as the tune Bellamy used for the Kipling poem. The lyrics in the Digital Tradition seem to be right, except that there should be a line break before the last stanza.
Also see the Little Red Songbook thread.

BINGO! Another one 'bites the dust'! Marion in Cornwall posted the Bellamy tune recently too.

Thanks, Joe (belatedly - I left town for a few days and forgot I'd inquired, and of course it had fallen off the list when I got back...).
