Thanks to the great Don Dixon, the first Lassie James song has come to life. Listen to 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 to pray
Asking God to calm her rage
She’s the feminist I want to kiss
A Baptist and a Communist
A Baptist and a Communist
