Re: Forwarded from Anthony (Judi Bari)




----- Original Message -----
From: "Forwarded from Anthony"

> Judi Bari is dead. She was a true hero. A working class hero.

David Rovics:
Judi Bari
based on the song "Joe Hill" by Earl Robinson, updated by David Rovics and
Robert Hoyt

I dreamed I saw Judi Bari last night
Alive as you and me
Says I, "but Judi, you're two years dead"
"I never died," said she
"I never died," said she

"The timber bosses killed you, Judi"
"They bombed you, Judi, says I"
"Takes more than bombs to kill a woman"
Says Judi, "I didn't die"
Says Judi, "I didn't die"

"In Oakland, Judi, by God," says I
Her standing by my bed
"They maimed you with a pipe bomb"
Says Judi, "but I ain't dead"
Says Judi, "but I ain't dead"

And standing there as big as life
And smiling with her eyes
Says Judi, "what they forgot to kill
"Went on to organize
"Went on to organize"

>From Garberville up to Maine
In every logging town
Where folks stand up to corporate greed
There Judi can be found
There Judi can be found

(Repeat first verse)
