"For my part, I agree with the sentiments above about this horrible little song. Maybe if I were part of a mining community I'd feel I have some right to sing it, but as I'm not, it seems very odd to consider singing something so accusatory, righteous and divisive, even if the reason for singing it is claiming it back from the BNumPtys."

I don't object to the song myself, though I find the Colliers Rant is a more engaging folk song.
I understand the motivation behind FAF, but maybe John Barleycorn might have been a more apposite choice?
