She Came Along To Me - Woody Guthrie

Ten hundred books could I write you about her

Because I felt if I could know her

I would know all women

And they've not been any too well known

for brains and planning and organised thinking

But I'm sure the women are equal

And they may be ahead of the men

Yet I wouldn't spread such a rumor around
because one organises the other
And sometimes the most lost and wasted
attract the most balanced and sane
And the wild and the reckless take up
with the clocked and the timed
And the mixture is all of us
And we're still mixing

But never, never, never,
Never could have it been done
If the women hadn't entered into the deal
Like she came along to me

And all creeds and kinds and colors
of us are blending
Till I suppose ten million years from now
we'll all be just alike
Same color, same size, working together
And maybe we'll have all of the fascists
out of the way by then
Maybe so.

WORDS: Woody Guthrie 1942 - MUSIC: Bragg/Tweedy/Bennett
