GUEST,Trewissick Arthur Miller: The Accidental Music Collector (31) RE: BBC Radio4: Arthur Miller/Song Collector 06 Jan 11


Hello,
This was repeated on BBC 7 on Bank Holiday Monday (there was a brief period that wasn't devoted the wall-to-wall Archers coverage) and I was wondering if anyone:
a) caught it and
b) could identify the song that the strikers outside the shirt factory sing towards the end of the programme - just before the 'train blues' (it's at about 23mins in)
It's on iplayer for a few more days yet!

I can't make out many of the lyrics but I think I got:
'we've sided with the union'
'have tried to block our way'
'picket every day'
'by a few'

Google isn't bringing up anything that looks remotely like it. And I can't find anything of use on the Library of Congress website.

Thanks! It's a great programme... worth a listen.
Trewk.
