Subject: RE: Are all folk musicians political?
I prefer DYLANS political songs, North country blues,times a changing blowing in the wind, masters of war to anything of Coppins, then we have some great songs from MacColl, thirty foot trailer, get along shift,freeborn man.my old man, all with social comment
and then Peter Bond with joe peel,baron and the busker

Alan Taylor ROLL ON THE DAY
As the dawn comes creeping, roll on the day
Another night not sleeping, roll on the day
Roll on the morning, roll on the day
I hear the old man softly praying, roll on the day
Praying for another day, roll on the day
But when it comes, it wastes away, roll on the day
Roll on the morning, roll on the day
I hear the old man softly praying, roll on the day
Every night you fight for breath, roll on the day
It hurts so bad, you wish for death, roll on the day
Roll on the morning, roll on the day
I hear the old man softly praying, roll on the day
As the dawn comes creeping, roll on the day
Another night not sleeping, roll on the day
Roll on the morning, roll on the day
I hear the old man softly praying, roll on the day
Roll on the morning, roll on the day
I hear the old man softly praying, roll on the day
A POWERFUL SONG ABOUT ASBESTOSIS in my opinion
knocks anything of johnny coppin into a cocked hat
