With a tune based on the beautiful English ballad Pretty Polly, Woody Guthrie's lyrics describes the challenges as well as the dignity of migrant workers in North America. With choral writing that is perfect for maturing high school voices but where there are no tenors, this is a song that encourages discussions around American farm workers, literature as the music relates to Steinbeck and his Grapes of Wrath, and the critical state of agriculture. This is a winner in every sense.
