The Popular Wobbly
(T-Bone Slim)

I'm as mild-mannered man as can be,
And I've never done no harm as I can see
Still on me they put a ban,
And they threw me in the can,
They go wild, simply wild over me

They accuse me of rascality,
But I can't see why they always pick on me,
I'm as gentle as a lamb
But they take me for a ram,
They go wild, simply wild over me

Oh the "bull" 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
He went wild, simply wild over me

Then the judge he went wild over me
And I plainly saw we never could agree,
So I let "his Nibs" obey
What his conscience had to say
He went wild, simply wild over me

Oh the jailer he went wild over me,
And he locked me up and threw away the key
It seems to be the rage
So they keep 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

Will the roses grow wild over me,
When I'm gone into 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 ?
