about

A folk song for a long-time lover and Movement comrade, with lyrics from the late 1980s and a melody from 2023.

lyrics

(chorus)
Lover! Comrade!
My heart you still excite
Strong and tender comrade
Embrace me through this night.

(verses)
You're the woman of my dreams
When we talk and when we hug
I love your politics
And I'm excited by your love.
You gave me joy in Paris
And aroused me in London
Your mind it is quite brainy
But still you're not a snob. (chorus)

I couldn't resist your beauty
In Boston or `Frisco
My life seems less oppressive
When you hold me and let go.
You work so hard for freedom
And I like to work with you
Your love it drives me wild
And we fight against the cruel. (chorus)

On the sidewalks of New York
We've walked much side by side
I trust you with my life
Because you are so kind.
I'm glad that you're my comrade
For you're a woman who seems quite tough
And the male brutes can't subdue you
For you're a woman who won't give up. (chorus)
