Thread Name: Lyr Add: Union Man (Len Wallace, Steve Earle)
Subject: RE: Union lyrics for Earle's 'Galway Girl'
Sounds like a Woody-Guthrie-song out of the thirties
surely thats as good a compliment as any song can be awarded..!!!
.. simple.. heartfelt .. and direct to the point...
i got the Sharon Shannon and Friends 2 cd set..
and this is the best performance on it..
my wife is from south wales valleys..
amd my dad was a factory union shop steward..
and over the years i've encountered many good/indifferent/bad/embarrasing.. 'political' songs..
..the band i'm in do some terribly outdated lefty songs..
so what..
i like the lyrics you wrote to this tune..
cheers...
