Who Bombed Judi Bari?

by Darryl Cherney

Now Judi Bari is a Wobbly organizer
A Mother Jones at the Georgia Pacific Mill
She fought for the sawmill workers
Hit by the PCB spill
T. Marshall Hahn’s calling GP‘s shots from Atlanta
Don Nelson sold him the union long ago
Now they weren’t gonna have no wobbly
Running their logging show
And they spewed out their hatred
And they layed out their scam
Jerry Philbrick called for violence
Was no secret what they planned
So I ask you now...

(chorus)

Who bombed Judi Bari?
I know you’re out their still
Have you seen her broken body
Or the spirit you can’t kill?

Now Judi Bari is a feminist organizer
Ain’t no man gonna keep that woman down
She defended the abortion clinic
In fascist Ukiah town
Calvary Baptist Church called for its masses
Camo buddies line up in the pews
You can see all of their faces
In the Ukiah Daily News
And they spewed out their hatred
As Reverend Broyles laid out the scam
Bill Staley called for violence
Was no secret what they planned
So I ask you now.... (to chorus)

Now Judi Bari is an Earth First! organizer
The California redwoods are her home
She called for Redwood Summer
Where the owl and the black bear roam
Charlie Hurwitz he runs MAXXAM out of Houston
Harry Merlo runs L-P from Portland town
They’re the men they call King Timber
They know how to cut you down
And Don Nolan spewed their hatred
As Candy Boak laid out the scam
John Campbell called for violence
Was no secret what they planned
So I ask you now.... (to chorus)

Now Judi Bari is the mother of two children
A pipe bomb went ripping through her womb
She cries in pain at nighttime
In a Willits cabin room
FBI is back again with Cointelpro
Richard Held is the man they know they trust
With Leuitenant Sims his henchman
It’s a world of boom and bust
But we’ll answer with non-violence
‘Cause seeking justice is our plan
And we’ll defend our wounded comrade
As we defend the ravaged land
So I ask you now...
