(adapted from 'Ride with me Gringo` by Fred LaBour.)
[Verse 1]
"Last night I saw Freda Kahlo,
"She came to me in a dream,
"She Said we could paint all the mountains,
"She said she made love by the stream,
"Was ours forever to fight,
"The army of people's liberation,
"Would I join their camp tonight?
[Chorus]
"She said "ride, ride with me Comrade!
"Ride for freedom and art!
"Ride, Ride with me Comrade!
"Fight for your people and soul!
"And Viva the art of Creation!
"The paint and and sculpture are gold!
"Come ride, Ride with me Comrade!
"Ride for the Glory and soul!'
[Verse 2]
"She said 'we live high in the mountains,
"With farmers and workers alike,
"And we ride with brave Zapatistas,
"With the truest hears in the fight,
"they attack and they vanish,
"into the morning's first light,
"We're the artists of sweet liberation,
"Come and join our commune tonight,'
[Chorus]
"She said 'Ride, ride with me Comrade!
"Ride for freedom and art!
"Ride, Ride with me Comrade!
"Fight for your people and soul!
"And Viva the art of Creation!
"the paint and and sculpture are gold!
"Come ride, Ride with me Comrade!
"Ride for the Glory and soul!'
[Verse 3]
"I awoke in the stillness of morning,
"And Freda Kahlo was gone,
"I looked to the sun on the mountains,
"and I remembered the words to her song,
"She said that her dark horse Diego,
"Would be ours forever to ride,
"I climb to a mountainous plateau,
"Where the revolution is waiting for me....
[Chorus]
"She said "ride, ride with me Comrade!
"Ride for freedom and art!
"Ride, Ride with me Comrade!
"Fight for your people and soul!
"Viva the art of Creation!
"the paint and and schulpture are gold!
"Come ride, Ride with me Comrade!
"Ride for the Glory and soul!"
...
"Last night I saw Freida Kahlo...."
