Equal Marriage!
I rewrote an old Woody Guthrie song to fit the times. People should be able to marry who ever they want and this song is about a marriage of two women. The original song was “Who’s Gonna Shoe Your Pretty Little Feet?”

Lyrics
I Don’t Need No Man
Who’s gonna bring you flowers?
Who’s gonna take your hand?
Who’s gonna kiss your sweet red lips?
who’s gonna be your man?
I tend to my own flowers
Rebecca will take my hand
She’ll also kiss my sweet red lips
I don’t need no man
I don’t need no man
I don’t need no man
She’ll also kiss my sweet red lips
I don’t need no man
Who’s gonna help support you?
Who’s gonna pay for your land?
Who’ll help raise your little one?
Who’s gonna be your man?
I have a good working pay job
To support myself where I stand
I’ll help the kids tradition forsakes
I don’t need no man
I don’t need no man
I don’t need no man
I’ll help the kids tradition forsakes
I don’t need no man
The greatest trip I ever made
Was with Rebecca by my side
We moved to New England
To tie our loving bind
Tie our loving bind
Tie our loving bind
We moved to New England
To tie our loving bind
I don’t need no man
I don’t need no man
I’ll help the kids tradition forsakes
I don’t need no man
