Also, did you know that Solidarity Forever uses the tune from John Brown’s Body?
A lot of songs use that tune. As Utah Phillips put it: The wobblies liked to steal the hymn tunes because they were pretty, and changed the words so they made more sense.
I own a reprint copy of the Little Red Songbook and each song instructs you which existing song to sing to the tune of. Btw great cheap book to buy for anyone interested
There were a bunch of banger Civil War Union songs.
Marching Through Georgia
The Fall of Charleston
Union Dixie and bonus trap remix
