Caroline and I accept the Fowke/Glazer attribution to Caroline Kohlsaat. Edith Fowke was an outstandinmg scholar and Joe Glazer is as steeped in labor history and lore as anyone in this country other than Archie Green. I see from the above entry that RUS even managed to get Kohlsaat's name wrong. I'm told that Utah Phillips wrote a tune as well, so close to the Kohlsaat tune that one might begin to believe in Jung's concept of the "collective unconscious."
Joe Glazer's life story, by the way, is about to be published -- Labor's Troubadour. I think it's from the University of Illinois Press.
