Thread Name: Calypsos on the Cuban Revolution & Morwen's verses
Subject: RE: Calypsos on the Cuban Revolution?
In the movie "We Were Strangers"--the only Hollywood film I can recall celebrating a Communist revolution---there's the calypso:
In nineteen hundred and thirty three Tony Fenner he say to me Take up your shovel and your pick And strike a blow for liberty
For what is wrong and what is right Will be decided by dynamite That is why he say to me We dig all day, we dig all night.
In nineteen hundred and thirty three Tony Fenner he died for me Now I have one brother less But I have my liberty
