“The song ‘We just Come to Work Here,’ that you feature in your ‘Labor Quote of the Day’ (9/6 UC) was written by the late Harry Stamper from Coos Bay, Oregon,” writes Paul McKenna. “The verse that you quote was from Anne Feeney's adaptation of the original song, but the original song was written by Harry.”
Thanks for the correction; here’s a short documentary on Stamper, a longshoreman and folksinger who passed away on March 9, 2012. Comments are closed.
