Thread Name: folk song politics
Subject: RE: folk song politics
I like the one that ends:

Well, it's a long, long way from Greensleeves to Freiheit,
And the distance is more than long!
But that grand old gang that they call the People's Artists,
Is on hand with their good old People's Songs.

Their motives are pure, their material is corny,
But their spirit will never be broke!
And they'll go right on with their old noble Crusade,
Of teaching folksongs to the folk!
