I've been researching old Bundist songs for a workshop for a few weeks now and I can't believe I didn't know about this book till now. Arbeyt un Frayhayt, a collection of #Yiddish revolutionary, workers and folk songs mostly dating to 1903-05, published by Schmul Lehman in Warsaw in 1921.

this book is cool it has a lot of other 1905 workers & bund songs that are not in Beregovsky's Old Jewish Folk Music which itself has many obscure ones. & this book has variants I'd never seen of Ir Narishe Tsionisn which unlike most songs in this book remains popular in some circles😏 thanks to Chaia for bringing this to my attention.
