joe glazer - suffragette song lyrics

[intro]
“now, we’ve been singing songs about the old days, the democrats and the whigs, and then the republicans took the whigs’ place. but i wanna make it clear, and most of you know that there were a lot of those with two parties, the main parties, but there were always third parties, and sometimes fourth and fifth parties. there was the prohibition party, the people’s party, the populist party. later on, we had the socialist party, the communist party, progressive party, and thеn of course you always had the women fighting for suffragе. the suffragettes had dozens of their own songs, but i wanna tell you something—these men were tough and mean. and i wanna sing one of their songs to show what those, uh, women in those 1870s, ’90s, the early 1900s, all the way up until 1920 had to go through.”

[verse 1]
a little lad with curly hair
stood by his father’s knee
you could see that he was crying
he was sad as he could be

[verse 2]
he sobbed and said, “i feel so blue”
as tears ran down his cheeks
“oh father, where is mother
she has not been home for weeks”
[verse 3]
hie pa said, “lad, the tale is sad
she’s down at suffrage hall
she’s gone to fight for women’s rights
why, there’s the bugle call”

[pre+chorus]
hear the tramp of their feet
as they march down the street
gee, those girls look sweet
they’re all dressed up so neat

[chorus]
tramp, tramp, tramp
the girls are marching
your mother’s gone away
to join the suffrage army

[outro]
“1920 was the suffrage amendment. if you figure that out from 1776, it’s only 144 years. i guess when they wrote, ‘all men are created equal,’ that’s exactly what they meant.”
