The immigration officer presented the immigrant with the choice of giving up other immigrants or being deported. He preferred being deported to betraying others. The fact that he is resigned to being deported takes some of the sadness out of this “unremittingly depressing” scenario.
I was actually at this show in Columbus Ohio and I remember Richard Shindell was on fire that night. He is one of the best “story” tellers I have ever had the pleasure of listening to.
please comr to scotland uk
In this song we have a fishing for information from a fisherman. The later comes across nobly while the one fishing reminds me of the gestapo. The song has made me reevaluate my stand on our immigration policy. I still think the USA has a right (like every other country) to limit immigration, but how we do it is so important and doing nothing is simply unacceptable. I sure hope this is not typical of the way immigration enforcement works.
I take a more radical approach: all borders should be eliminated gradually, say, within 20 to 30 years. In the meantime, nations should work toward bettering living standards in poorer countries.
Nobody likes to travel to a foreign land, experience lonliness and homesickness in a hostile and strange culture, and work at menial tasks that the locals wouldn’t touch. When people do so, it’s out of desperation. If there were more opportunites in their home countries, they wouldn’t want to leave.
This song grows on me…I see the interrigator and the the one being interrigating coming together and sharing a moment of understanding- fishing. The interrigator seems the humanity of the one interrgated- he understands his job- but to me- it seems that I could see the two enjoying a day of fishing together- but that the situation doesn’t allow it. I don’t think the song is as clear cut as it first seems.
The best songs, for me, are the ones that tell stories so clearly that you can see the movie in your head. This is one of those songs. Unfortunitly, it is a true story played out, too often, in real life.
Are not we the country with the statue of the lady with the inscription
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.
love his guitar playing,
he inspired me to quit playing metal and pick up an acoustic guitar
awsome ,,, come to scotland richard ,, that song so represents our country at the moment ,, polish are invading us
I would buy a book of short stories by him in a heartbeat.
i wish the recorded version of this sounded like this one i hate the drums and stuff
Great song, & well done!
I like his performance of this on Folk Alley’s web site, in the “Live From Folk Alley” section.
Do you happen to have a copy of that concert that you could send me? The website won’t let me download the song. It would be much appreciated. Thanks
Yes, I have a copy. My ISP sometimes makes it difficult for me to send large files, but I’d be happy to try and send it to you.
i cant seem to send you a message with my email because it says i must request you as a friend. I thought i would just let you know that ill be sending you a friend request so the request isn’t accidentally declined. thanks:)
A fantastic song…even more chilling live.

@Ugliest1uEVERsaw Google Ron’s folk chords,
there are a number of his tunes there, enjoy!
Thanks man. I found the link on his site. I appreciate it. Do you like John Gorka by chance?
Wow.
What a song! The imagery, the way the melody supports every turn of phrase–every one of his songs is a consummately crafted work of art.
Si se puede.
