Pete Seeger Raggedy Lyrics

RAGGEDY - Pete Seeger
Just a simple old I-V-I-IV folk song that should be heard more. From Pete's
"American Industrial Ballads" album.
(When it goes from D to G, may want to play with the descending bass line:
D - C# - B.)
Raggedy, raggedy are we.
Just as raggedy as raggedy can be.
We don't get nothing for our labor.
So raggedy, raggedy are we.
(Hungry!)
Hungry, hungry are we.
Just as hungry as hungry can be.
We don't get nothing for our labor.
So hungry, hungry are we.
(Homeless!)
Homeless, homeless are we.
Just as homeless as homeless can be.
We don't get nothing for our labor.
So homeless, homeless are we.
(Landless!)
Landless, landless are we.
Just as landless as landless can be.
We don't get nothing for our labor.
So landless, landless are we.
(Cow-less!)
Cow-less, cow-less are we.
Just as cow-less as cow-less can be.
We don't get nothing for our labor.
So cow-less, cow-less are we.
So hog-less, hog-less are we.
Just as hog-less as hog-less can be.
We don't get nothing for our labor.
So hog-less, hog-less are we.
(Union!)
Union, Union are we.
Just as Union as Union can be.
We don't get nothing for our labor.
So Union, Union are we.
