Fellow Worker Thompson!

In regards to Wobbly Folklore, I could perhaps be of some help to You in regards to the song Tie em Up,, now I have sung the song many times in words and music for and to myself and I know the tune and words of the first and part of the second verse, but I am unable to write music and tune in notes, so there is where we neat [sic] assistance, I will write the words of the first verse, as I recall it and the refrain and if we get the first verse and refrain in to music all the other verses and refrain are the same tune. I will write the words down to the best of my memory, and You see if you can correct me, if not, we will stick to my words, then I will try to get a party, that can write music and notes and does play Piano! as I live about 10 (over)
