The KKK took my baby away






I serien "undervurderte, glemte eller av andre grunner alt for lite spillte låter" drar jeg denne gangen frem en av Ramones mange gode låter- The KKK took my baby away. Sangen er fra begynnnelsen på 80-tallet (1981) og er ganske typisk for Ramones stil på den tiden. Sangen har blitt covret av mange , bla MArilyn Manson, Dead Kennedys og The Misfits. Enjoy :)

"The KKK Took My Baby Away"

She went away for the holidays
Said she's going to L.A.
But she never got there
She never got there
She never got there, they say

The KKK took my baby away
They took her away
Away from me
The KKK took my baby away
They took her away
Away from me

Now I don't know
Where my baby can be
They took her from me
They took her from me
I don't know
Where my baby can be
They took her from me
They took her from me

Ring me, ring me ring me
Up the President
And find out
Where my baby went
Ring me, ring me, ring me
Up the FBI
And find out if
My baby's alive
Yeah, yeah, yeah

She went away for the holidays

The KKK took my baby away

They took my girl
They took my baby away
