NOTES [49 words]: Cleveland lists this as anonymous and hence a folk song. I don't believe it for a moment. (Oh, it may be from an anonymous singer at a protest rally. That doesn't mean it has gone into oral tradition.) But since Cleveland pretends it's a folk song, I index it. And get sarcastic in the notes. - RBW
