If I remember correctly, the above was written by Robb Johnson, (a left wing songwriter here in England)
Another brilliant song on the same subject was written by Jim Boyes, (of Coope Boyes and Simpson) and appeared in the early 90's on the No Masters Co-operative sampler NMV.

Chorus
Rest easy, won't you lie easy
Though you drowned so near the sure
Rest easy, won't you lie easy
You'rs suffering now is o'er
