From: Desert Dancer The IWW song "We Have Fed You All For A Thousand Years" is apparently a re-write of Rudyard Kipling's poem, "The Song of the Dead" ("We have fed our sea..."). In this thread, I've transcribed the text and inquired about the musical setting, by Von Liebich. If you've got info about that tune, please reply in that thread. Thanks. ~ Becky in Tucson |

Thanks to Big Mick, who gave me his only copy. Apparently, the tune is not the same as the tune Bellamy used for the Kipling poem. The lyrics in the Digital Tradition seem to be right, except that there should be a line break before the last stanza.Also see the Little Red Songbook thread. -Joe Offer- |
