Subject: RE: Does anybody know this song? (Jute Mill Song)
The late Norman Buchan (of '101 Scots Songs' and 'Scottish Folksinger' fame) said that the final verse of the 'Jute Mill Song' (Oh dear me the warld's ill divided, them that wark the hardest are the least provided) was the reason he became a member of parliament.
