I ran across a two-verse fragment this week in the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. It was recorded in 1943 by Elise Hubbard Linscott [who wrote "Folk Songs of Old New England" (1939)] from the singing of Maynard Reynolds, Pittsburg NH. She transcribed the words for her projected second book "Songs from a Yankee Peddler's Pack", but the book was never published. A draft, however, is in her papers in the Folklife Center archives. My internet research led me from "The Dudes of East Cape Breton" ['dudes"?] to "The Honest Working Man", and to this Mudcat thread. Here is Linscott's transcription of Reynolds' lyrics:

Oh the dudes of East Cape Breton
    Where they knit the sock and mitten.
Chizzincoop is represented
    By the dusky black and tan,
May they never be respected
    May they always be rejected
May they never be respected
    By the honest workingman.

O what raised up high me dander
    Was a great big Newfoundlander
And his wife he could not stand her
    Since high living they began.
For in all they have no 'baccer
    They are well-known codfish packers
And they steal the chesse and crackers
    From the honest workingman.

Next time I'm at the Folklife Center, I'll try to listen to the field recording, to see how the tune compares with the tune Fowke published.

My internet digging also led me to Richard MacKinnon's article "Protest Song and Verse in Cape Breton Island" (Ethnologies, 30:2, pp 33-71, http://id.erudit.org/iderudit/019945ar ) which contains a discussion of "The Honest Working Man" in the context of workers' and labor songs in Cape Breton.
