Woody Guthrie - My Revolutionary Mind

C G
night is here again , baby ,
C G
i’m stretched out on my bed
C Bm
seeing all kinds of crazy notions
Am D
running through my head

C G
one hand is on my pillow
C G
one hand is on my head ,
C Bm
i see a million nightmares
Am D
tearing around inside my head

G C
i need a progressive woman;
G C
i need an awfully liberal woman;
G C
ain’t no reactionary baby
can ease my revolutionary mind .

i need a progressive woman
i need an awfully liberal woman
i need a social conscious woman
to ease my revolutionary mind .

if i could only make you see , babe ,
i ache and pain and bleed ,
i know you’d come a runnin’
if you blistered both your feet .

i need a progressive woman;
i need an awful liberal woman;
i need an open minded mama
to ease my revolutionary mind .

if you could see me here , baby ,
broke out with salty sweat;
no matter where you go i know
you never could forget

i need a progressive woman;
i need a liberal thinking woman;
i need an open hearted mama
to ease my revolutionary mind .

i ain’t no lumpen proletariat ,
and i ain’t no petty bourgeoisie
but i’m gonna be a cold corpse
if you don’t run here to me

i need a progressive shipmate;
i need a liberous nature lover ,
but no reactionary female
can ease my revolutionary mind .

if you’re a republican or a democrat ,
or a white hood ku klux klan ,
no use to ring my doorbell
’cause i’ll never be your man

i want a union working woman
i want a progressive liberous woman ,
i want a nice progressive mama
to ease my revolutionary mind .
