Big Bill Broonzy
What is an "axer gang"?
In an old Big Bill Broonzy's song called "I Wonder When I'll Get To Be Called A Man", there's a line that says:
"I've worked in the levee camps and axer gangs too"
What is an "axer gang"??
Note: it is probably referred to the period of the great economic depression in the United States.
Axe Gang
A group of manual laborers, under the supervision of a foreman, using axes to chop wood, either to clear a piece of land, or for fuel. While axe gangs could be composed of free laborers, those whose work songs were recorded by the folklorists of the early 20th century were frequently composed of prisoners.
