• She went to state to state by freight train
    And never bathed in a tub
    She never took a dollar and kept it for her self
    Even starved to feed the crying kids
    Box car betty is the women of my dreams

    She always stood by every sticking woman and man
    And she was called a Damned Red
    But she never stood down when dishwasher was underpaid
    And always rose her fist for ever man and women
    Box can betty is the woman for me

    She has died and rose many a time and shall many again
    So she may be dead today but we can organize and see her again
    So I shall scream it again
    Boxcar betty is the woman for me

    Never owned a house
    Stood by Joe Hill at his trail
    And screamed with Sid Hatfield was gunned down
    Got arrested at the protest of FTAA in Ontario and got killed in Miami
    The only women to come close to match her was out mother herself, Mother johns
    Box can betty is the woman of my dreams
