IWW_Mass_Meeting_in_Sydney,_Australia,_September_11,_1916

This Australian song, to the tune of “Yankee Doodle”, was written in 1915 by Bill Casey, a member of the IWW (Industrial Workers of the World, also known as the Wobblies), who later became secretary of the Queensland Branch of the Seamens Union of Australia. It is not widely known, except perhaps in Trade Union circles. The only recording I know of is by Declan Affley.
