And the "Big Rock Candy Mountain," which has older forms.

Of the protest songs, one of the best was by Joe Hill, "The Preacher and the Slave," in the DT here at Mudcat, with its great chorus:

You will eat (you will eat), bye and bye (bye and bye),
In that glorious land in the sky (way up high).
Work and pray (work and pray), live on hay (live on hay),
You'll get pie in the sky when you die (that's a lie!).
