Babe O'mine - Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger

I’m gonna write you a letter, babe o' mine

I’m a-gonna write you a letter, babe o' mine

I’m a-gonna write you a letter just as quick as times get better

But I’ve gotta get organized, babe o' mine

I’m goin' 'round this world, babe o' mine

I’m a-goin' around this world, babe o' mine

I’m a-goin' 'round it once and I’m goin' 'round it twice

And I’m a-gonna get organized, babe o' mine

I’m a-goin' to California, babe o' mine

I’m a-goin' to California, babe o' mine

I’m a-goin' to California, it’s a rough and a teejus journey

And I gotta keep organizin', babe o' mine

I’m a-gonna leave old North Caroliner, babe o' mine

I’m a-gonna leave old North Caroliner, babe o' mine

I’m a-gonna leave old North Caroliner and I’m gonna catch me a boat to Chiner

And I gotta keep organizin', babe o' mine

See the sailors' kids and wives, babe o' mine

See the sailors' kids and wives, babe o' mine

See the sailors' kids and wives, I’m compelled to save their lives

So I gotta keep organizin', babe o' mine

Well, we’ve got to win this race, babe o' mine

We’ve got to win this race, babe o' mine

Yes, we’ve got to win this race, put the bosses in their place

And we gotta get organized, babe o' mine

It’s that good old C. I. O., babe o' mine

It’s that good old C. I. O., babe o' mine

It’s that good old C. I. O., 'cause it’s everywhere you go

So we’ll just keep organizin', babe o' mine

Organize, organize, babe o' mine

Organize, organize, babe o' mine

Well, the boss’ll be surprised when he finds us organized

So we’ll just keep organizin', babe o' mine
