Langston Hughes - The Ballad of Lenin lyrics

Comrade Lenin of Russia, High in a marble tomb, Move over, Comrade Lenin, And give me room. I am Ivan, the peasant, Boots all muddy with soil. I fought for you, Comrade Lenin. Now I finish my toil. Comrade Lenin of Russia, Alive in a marble tomb, Move over, Comrade Lenin, And give me room. I am Chico, the Negro, Cutting cane in the sun. I lived for you, Comrade Lenin. Now my work is done. Comrade Lenin of Russia, Honored in a marble tomb, Move over, Comrade Lenin, And give me room. I am Chang from the foundries On strike in the streets of Shanghai. For the sake of the Revolution I fight, I starve, I die. Comrade Lenin of Russia Rises in the marble tomb: On guard with the fighters forever - The world is our room!
