Part of the Union (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! "Part of the Union" is a song by English band Strawbs featured on their 1973 album Bursting at the Seams and was the band's most successful single, peaking at number 2 in the UK Singles Chart. The writing credits are given to Richard Hudson and John Ford, but the song may be an adaptation of the Woody Guthrie/Almanac Singers' song "Union Maid." The lyrical resemblance is striking although it is set to different music.The song was included on the album Bursting at the Seams but is not considered typical of the songs on that album.
