"CRIMSON TIDE"

have I been a bad boy

for being Robert Redford's pimp

fixing him up with

blond-haired blue-eyed Mid-western

girls who had never tried Heroin

well whip it on me Mammy

whip it on me Uncle Sammy

whip it on me like sweet Alabamy

have I been a bad boy

for burning down the

Post Office in Salem, West (God

dam') Virginia after mailing back

my draft card the night my

friend was shot at

at Kent State University

well whip it on me Mammy

whip it on me Uncle Sammy

whip it on me like sweet Alabamy

have I been a bad boy

for smoking a joint

while sitting on the commode

in the second floor Men's Room

of the Harvard Faculty Club

after a poetry reading

( i only farted )

well whip it on me Mammy

whip it on me Uncle Sammy

whip it on me like good ol' Alabamy
