She Came Along to Me Lyrics


Ten hundred books
Could I write you about her?
'Cause I felt if I could know her
I would know all women
And they've not been any too well known
For brains and plannin' and organized thinkin'
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
'Cause one organizes 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, oh, workin' together
And maybe, we'll have all of the fascists
Out of the way by then
Maybe so
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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

The British singer Billy Bragg and the American band Wilco collaborated to put to music and perform previously unheard lyrics written by American folk singer Woody Guthrie. The project was organized by Guthrie's daughter, Nora Guthrie. The ensuing album "Mermaid Avenue" was released on the Elektra Records label on June 23, 1998. A second volume of recordings, "Mermaid Avenue Vol. II", followed in 2000. The projects are named after a song "Mermaid's Avenue" written by Guthrie. This was also the street in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York on which Guthrie lived.
