The Red Cap

I see you're not wearing your red cap anymore

Well I heard someone say you thought it was getting too small



Well, I wish I knew how to alter it

But I don't know how to sew

So if you'd like to wear it

Then I guess it's all up to you



Standing with your red cap on the barricades

I didn't like you all that much before

But now since you've stopped wearing it

I dislike you even more



I've heard you've not played the guitar for fifteen years, soon

Well it's hard, hard to play the guitar

When it's way outta tune



Well, I wish I knew how to tune it

But I haven't got the ear

So if someone's going to do it

Then it's you again, I fear



Standing playing guitar on the barricades

I didn't like you all that much before

But now since you've stopped playing it

I dislike you even more



I've heard that you're not singing songs anymore

But actually I don't believe you when you say

It's 'cause your throat is sore



You better open up your ear

'Cause there's a new song coming in

And if you pick, pick up the tune

Maybe even I will join in



Standing singing songs upon the barricades

I didn't like you all that much before

But now since you've let your dear songs die out

I dislike you even more



Standing with your red cap on the barricades

I didn't like you all that much before

But now since you've stopped wearing it

I dislike you even more...



I see you're not wearing your red cap anymore...
