Lyrics
Rick Ross (c) 2020
Folk singers sing for freedom and equality
Folk singers sing for an end to hypocrisy
Folk singers sing for freedom and equality
Because racism and poverty are sometimes hard to see
They fight the good fight, in their own way
Because they all have something important to say
They want to make the world, a better place
Because they know we are all part of the human race
Chorus
They sing alone and in groups as well
Because they have an important story to tell
Names we know are Woody, Bob, Phil and Pete
They are all a big part of the folk song elite
Chorus
Women folk superstars are not hard to find
Names like Buffy, Joan, Joni and Judy come to mind
Sharing their harmony are groups of more than two
The Weavers Kingston Trio Seekers and the Travellers but a few
Chorus
Woody taught us the importance of union made
Phil sang he ain’t marching any more, called a spade a spade
Bob asked what was blowing in the wind said the answer was there
And Pete shared where had all the flowers gone if you dared to care
Chorus
The Weavers showed us kisses were sweeter than wine
The Kingston Trio told the tale of Charlie’s MTA line
The Seekers sang of a world of our own to give us a hand
The Travellers made us proud when singing out this land is our land
Chorus
Buffy‘s universal soldier was a message we all heard
Joan believed love was a just a four-letter word
Joni played the circle game and it was ours to learn
Judy encouraged us like the seasons to turn, turn, turn
Chorus
