The Popular Wobbly Lyrics

(T-Bone Slim) I'm as mild-mannered man as can be Ain't done nobody harm that I can see Still on me they put a ban They would throw me in the can They go wild, simply wild over me They accuse me of rascality I don't know why they're always picking on me I'm as gentle as a lamb Yet they take me for a ram They go wild, simply wild over me Well, that cop, he went wild over me And he held his gun where everyone could see He was breathing rather hard When he saw my union card They go wild, simply wild over me And that judge he went wild over me And I could plainly see that we would never agree So I let the man obey What his conscience had to say They go wild, simply wild over me And the jailer he went wild over me And he locked me up and through away the key Well, it seems to be the rage So they throw 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 I murmur in my sleep They go wild, simply wild over me Well, even God, he went wild over me This I found out when I knelt upon my knee Did he hear my humble yell No, he told me, "Go to hell" They go wild, simply wild over me Will the roses grow wild over me When I'm gone to 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
