1877 is partly about my AP US History class and partly about my introduction to folk music. Things to know: the corrupt bargain of 1877. Woodrow Wilson Guthrie. The wizard of Oz as Gilded Age politics. William Jennings Bryan's Cross of Gold Speech.

And it was 1877 when i took up with your cause
and it was 1865 when i took notice
and it was the prophet woodrow wilson who did convert me to your god
and thats leaving quite a few names left unspoken.
And it was 1877 when i took up with your cause
and it was 1865 when i took notice
and it was the cowardly lion who saved us from our deaths upon the cross
but i still wear my crown of thorns just to show i lived it.
