There's a hundred-thousand |
|
Frenchmen in |
|
New Orleans |
|
In New Orleans there are |
|
Frenchmen everywhere |
|
But your house could fall down |
|
Your baby could drown |
|
Wouldn't none of those |
|
Frenchmen care |
|
Everybody gather 'round |
|
Loosen up your suspenders |
|
Hunker down on the ground |
|
I'm a cracker |
|
And you are too |
|
But don't |
|
I take good care of you |
|
Who built the highway to |
|
Baton Rouge? |
|
Who put up the hospital and built you schools? |
|
Who looks after shit-kickers like you? |
|
The Kingfish do |
|
Who gave a party at the |
|
Roosevelt |
|
Hotel? And invited the whole north half of the state down there for free |
|
The people in the city |
|
Had their eyes bugging out |
|
Cause everyone of you |
|
Looked just like me |
|
Kingfish, |
|
Kingfish Everybody sing |
|
Kingfish, |
|
Kingfish Every man a king |
|
Who took on the |
|
Standard Oil men |
|
And whipped their ass |
|
Just like he promised he'd do? |
|
Ain't no Standard |
|
Oil men gonna run this state |
|
Gonna be run by little folks like me and you |
|
Kingfish, |
|
Kingfish Friend of the working man |
|
Kingfish, |
|
Kingfish The |
|
Kingfish gonna save this land |
