Pete Seeger - The Popular Wobbly lyrics
Your rating:
I'm as mild-mannered man as can be And I've never done them harm as I can see Yet on me they put a ban And they throw me in the can They go wild, simply wild over me They accuse me of rascality And I can't see why they always pick on me, I'm as gentle as a lamb But they take me for a ram They go wild, simply wild over me Oh the "bull" he went wild over me And he held his club where everyone could see He was breathing rather hard When he saw my union card He went wild, simply wild over me Then the judge he went wild over me And I plainly saw we never could agree So I let "his Nibs" obey What his conscience had to say He went wild, simply wild over me Oh the jailer he went wild over me And he locked me up and threw away the key Well, it seems to be the rage That they keep me in a cage They go wild, simply wild over me They go wild, simply wild over me I'm referring to the bedbug and the flea They disturb my slumber deep And they rob me of my sleep They go wild, simply wild over me Will the roses grow wild over me When I'm gone into the land that is to be ? When my soul and body part In the stillness of my heart Will the roses grow wild over me?
