Lyrics
I've got no time for the aisles of fashion Or the bikinis of Malibu Beach Don't take me to where the pool water's splashing Where everybody's skin is soft as a peach The woman for me doesn't live in a mansion Taking baths in a hot tub, drinking whiskey and cream The woman for me is a fighter with passion Boxcar Betty is the woman of my dreams (chorus) She was a hobo and a tramp And a rebel through and through Boxcar Betty, I am yours For the OBU She refused to marry rich Or kiss anybody's ass She was proud to be a union woman And a leader of the working class She hopped the freights from state to state With revolution in her eyes 'Cause she couldn't stand to hear the sound Of a hungry child's cries (chorus) Boxcar Betty didn't give a damn About what some people said They called her a free lover They called her a dirty red But if I could do anything in life I would hope to make my stand Hanging around the jungles As Boxcar Betty's right-hand man (chorus) ---- Created December, 1998 Copyright David Rovics 1998, all rights reserved
