The KKK Took My Baby Away by The Ramones

She went away for the holidays
Said she's going to L.A.
But she never got there
She never got there
She never got there, they say

The KKK took my baby away
They took her away
Away from me
The KKK took my baby away
They took her away
Away from me

Now I don't know
Where my baby can be
They took her from me
They took her from me
I don't know
Where my baby can be
They took her from me
They took her from me

Ring me, ring me ring me
Up the President
And find out
Where my baby went
Ring me, ring me, ring me
Up the FBI
And find out if
My baby's alive
Yeah, yeah, yeah

She went away for the holidays

The KKK took my baby away

They took my girl
They took my baby away

MAYBE THEY ARE HOLDING HER AT THE WHITE HOUSE

Ah The Ramones

Your basic 3 to 4 chord rock band

But they kept it simple because it worked for their sound

They had some memorable hits too

I Wanna Be Sedated - Blitzkrieg Bop - Sheena is a Punk Rocker

I went and saw these guys at Fiddlers Green with Katie Mangle during our senior year in high school

Debbie Harry and the Tom Tom Club were the other bands at the show

It was fun and they played a great set and the whole crowd knew the lyrics and were singing along

Good times

Wow! How awesome that you can say you actually saw the Ramones in concert. And if it was in the 80s it was when actual rock bands were allowed to play at Fiddlers Green and not have to end at 7:00 pm because of all the crybaby rich neighbors who hate rock and roll.

Okay. I read the lyrics and watched the video. And here is my first thought. This song and video are horrible. Horrible. But if you look at the time it was made it is less horrible but still not one of their best songs. As a kid the ramones were these amazing awesome punk rebels. Looking at the video I see now that they weee just stupid akward teenagers. Their songs were indeed three chord stupid teen garbage. But man they fit right into the times. They are perfect.

Wow! Just Wow. You can actually say lame shit about the Ramones. You are officially and old crotchety man. Go stand in your front yard and shake your fist and say "Get off my lawn you wiper snapper!"
