Joe, I have another song that belongs here as well, entitled Where The Fraser River Flows written by Joe Hill, to the tune of Where The Shannon River Flows, when he came out to BC to rally support for construction workers who were building the Canadian Northern Pacific Railway.
The song was first sung in 1912 during an I.W.W. strike on the railway, when 6,000 men downed tools for two and a half months.
It is contained in a book called Songs of the Pacific Northwest by Philip J. Thomas and when I get a chance in the next few days I will post the lyrics to this thread.
