If It Wasn't for the Women Lyrics


If it wasn't for the women, women
We would not be living, living
We would not be joyful, singing
Loving and beloved, women
Descant #1
If it wasn't for the women, what would we do?
We wouldn't have health or strength or beauty
We wouldn't have a home, we wouldn't have food
If it wasn't for the work of the women
Descant #2
If it wasn't for the women, what would we do?
We wouldn't have art or crafts or music
We wouldn't have love, we wouldn't have truth
If it wasn't for the work of the women

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Alix Dobkin (b. August 16, 1940) is an American folk singer/songwriter.

She was born in New York City and raised in Philadelphia. She graduated from Germantown High School in 1958, and the Tyler School of Art, with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, in 1962. She began performing the Greenwich Village coffeehouse Scene in the early '60's.

Dobkin briefly married a man in the late 1960's, the marriage producing a daughter. In 1972, Dobkin came out as a lesbian, something very uncommon for a public personality to do at the time. She has since been very active in promoting GLBT rights.

Dobkin has a small but devoted cult audience. However, she gained some unexpected (and not entirely welcome) fame in the Eighties when comedians like David Letterman and Howard Stern tracked down the "Lavender Jane Loves Women" album, and began playing it on the air. Her warbling vocal style and oh-so-earnest ("Lesbian, lesbian, any woman can be a lesbian") lyrics made her a somewhat easy target for satire.
