Listening to Jerry Stiller reading John Sayles' classic short story At the Anarchists' Convention (it's on YouTube), I notice a reference to a song called The Ballad of Bob LaFollette. Anyone know this song?

Fantastic reading by Jerry Stiller, by the way, with an appreciative audience who get most of the anarchist jokes.

Hmm. Either John Sayles made it up, or it's forgotten.
