I still sing “Union Maid” whenever (now) Gov. Kasich is on television. #maddow #shadenfreude

I can’t find a free version of Woody Guthrie’s original but here’s Pete Seeger performing the song before a room full of awkward Australians in 1963.
Rabbit hole warning: Once you get into the YouTube system of old union songs you may lose a significant amount of your day. Check out the language on Seeger’s 1947 rendition of “Talking Union.” Hoo!
