Thanks to the great Don Dixon, the Lassie James songs are coming to life. Look for the album in early 2019.
Inspired by the Lassie James novel, “Fair-Skinned Brunette with the Porcelain Shine”
The Album
Meantime, check out a demo of “She’s a Baptist and a Communist.”
She’s a Baptist and a Communist By Don Dixon & John Bare © 2018
She’s the feminist I want to kiss
A Baptist and a Communist
She’s got immunity from powers that be
Winks at the sheriff, he pretends he doesn’t see
Keeps her bullets with her Bible
Doesn’t shave above her knee
Wears a scarf she stole from Newport
And a ring from Galilee
She’s a Baptist and a Communist
Shot her man when he raised his fist
She’s the feminist I want to kiss
A Baptist and a Communist
A Baptist and a Communist
She’s got a happy face but under those bangs
Her mind is always working to facilitate some change
Organizing hotel maids
Marching for a living wage
By the jail she kneels and whispers
Oh, God please calm my rage
She’s a Baptist and a Communist
Shot her man when he raised his fist
She’s the feminist I want to kiss
A Baptist and a Communist
A Baptist and a Communist
Ohhh, ohhh,
A Baptist and a Communist
