Thread Name: songs about British and American farmers
Subject: RE: British and American farmers
Steve, have you got any examples of songs in which those merry ploughboys get ripped off?

The sort of thing that Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger might have included in their gallup through the history of protest songs in 1968, The Angry Muse?

It was listening to that that got me wondering what your left-wing British folkie would have thought about the farmer in 1968. I think it's probably a complicated business.
