Banks of Marble

If there were ever a song apropos of our current economic crisis, it'd be this timeless worker's lament by folk songwriter Les Rice, popularized by Pete Seeger and union folks everywhere. See the complete lyrics here.

Shout out to Lillitu for putting the song on a mixed tape for me about 15 years ago and thus inscribing the song in my memory for all time.

Artist: Les Rice (songwriter) Pete Seeger (performer)
