Marvin X--Country Woman Blues



The Human Earthquake would like you to bring him and the Black Arts Movement Poets Choir to your city ASAP. $100,000 is needed to bring him to your city for a Black radical concert of spiritual, educational and wellness healing. Art is therapy! Support the cultural revolution. Before political consciousness, there must be cultural and spiritual consciousness. Call him at 510-200-4164. The Black Arts Movement is ready to travel! Baraka said do the 27 cities in the US, promote the United Front! BAM is down fada git down! Long live the Bandung Conference!

Ten people with $10.000.00 each in each city can make this happen. Just know this, we are soldiers, not opportunists greedy for money, after all, we have sacrificed our lives for the freedom of our people. Many of us are in poor health, so we must move expeditiously to at least begin this project. Some of the BAM people will not be able to conclude this project. We call upon the Black Arts babies 2.0 to continue in the BAM tradition.

"Marvin X was my teacher, many of our comrades came through his Black Arts Theatre: Bobby Seale, Eldridge Cleaver, Emory Douglas, Samuel Napier."--Dr. Huey P. Newton, co-founder, Black Panther Party

"Marvin X is still the undisputed king of Black Consciousness!"--Dr. Nathan Hare, father of Black Studies

"He's Plato teaching on the streets of Oakland."--Ishmael Reed

"The USA's Rumi!--Bob Holman

"A great story teller, I'd put him ahead of Mark Twain."--Rudolph Lewis





I'm down here in da country
grape vines down the street
don't worry bout nothing
country people got everything ta eat

down here in da country
grape vines down the street
lookin fa a country woman
ain't worried bout nothing ta eat!

got plenty of henny
ain't worried bout nothing
but when dat country gul come through

she say daddy I wanna to be wit you
wherever you are
city or country
cause I know you a star

Love dat country woman
so sweet and so true
just treat her nice
she'll be there fa you

she just wanna laugh
don't make her cry
just make her laugh
don't make her cry
she'll be witya
til the day ya die!
--Marvin X

City Woman Blues

I loveya baby
but ya just too crazy fa me
I loveya baby
but ya just too crazy fa me
go on back where ya came from
I'll see ya when I see

took ya all round world
you still wanna act a fool
took ya all round world
but ya still wanna act a fool

go on back where ya came from
need to go back ta school.
--Marvin X
