Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Legend of Pete Seeger (Will McLean)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Legend of Pete Seeger - Will McLean
The Broadside Collection (named for Broadside Magazine, 1960s-70s) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has several archival tapes of THE LEGEND OF PETE SEEGER being performed by Will McLean.
Central Florida Community College has a document in its Will McLean collection that has these words, presumably in Will McLean's handwriting:The blood of those who gave their all
To keep our country free
Has stained our hallowed land for naught
Unless both you and me
Do meet our duty proud and strong
And use our precious right
The precious right to live and die
In freedom's burning light.
Legend of Pete Seeger
