I'M GOING TO ORGANIZE
(Sarah Ogan Gunning)

Oh you're going to be surprised, babe of mine,
Oh you're going to be surprised, babe of mine,
Oh you're going to be surprised,
For I'm going to organize,
Yes, I'm going around this world, babe of mine.

Oh I'm going to write you a letter, babe of mine,
Oh I'm going to write you a letter, babe of mine,
Oh I'm going to write you a letter,
When the living gets better,
But I'm going to organize, babe of mine.

See the worker's children and wives, babe of mine,
See the worker's children and wives, babe of mine,
See the worker's children and wives,
I'm compelled to save their lives,
So I'm going to organize, babe of mine.

Oh, I love the union men, babe of mine,
Oh, I love the union men, babe of mine,
Oh, I love the union men,
The way they're treated is a sin,
So I'm going to get organized, babe of mine.
