Verse
F G
When I was just a little thing I used to love parades
C F
with banners, bands and red balloons and maybe lemonade
F G
when I came home one mayday my neighbours father said
C F
them marchers is all commies tell me kid are you a red?
[Verse 2]
F G
well, I didnt know just what he meant my hair back then was brown
C F
our house was plain red brick like most others in the town
F G
so I went and asked my mamma why our neighbour called me red
C F
my mummy took me on her knee and this is what she said
[Chorus]
F G
Well you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red
C F
if you've marched or agitated, you're bound to hear it said
F G
so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
C F
cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red
[Verse 3]
F G
When I was growin' up, had my troubles I suppose
C F
when someone took exception to my face or to my clothes
F G
or tried to cheat me on a job or hit me on the head
C F
when I organised to fight back why the stinkers called me red
[Chorus]
F G
But you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red
C F
if you've marched or agitated, you're bound to hear it said
F G
so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
C F
cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red
[Verse 4]
F G
When I was livin' on my own one apartment that I had
C F
had a lousy rotten landlord let me tell ya he was bad
F G
but when he tried to throw me out I rubbed my hands and said
C F
you haven't seen a struggle if you haven't fought a red!
[Chorus]
F G
And you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red
C F
if you've marched or agitated, you're bound to hear it said
F G
so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
C F
cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red
[Verse 5]
F G
Well I kept on agitatin', cause what else can you do?
C F
you're gonna let the sons of bitches walk all over you
F G
my friends said you'll get fired, hanging with that commie mob
C F
I should be so lucky buddy, I ain't got a job
[Chorus]
F G
And you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red
C F
if you've marched or agitated, you're bound to hear it said
F G
so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
C F
cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red
[Verse 6]
F G
Well I've been agitatin' now for fifty years or more
C F
for jobs or for equality and always against war
F G
I'll keep on agitatin' as far as I can see
C F
and if that's what being red is then It's good enough for me
[Chorus]
F G
'Cause you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red
C F
if you've marched or agitated, you're bound to hear it said
F G
so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
C F
cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red
