been on a bicycle tour all week [fun] and I just whipped this out. if it's too late feel free to disqualify me. AI had to do it because I love Woody and am beginning to really [insert strong negative words here] the banksters. their greed is ruining our way of life!
I don't know if I screwed up and no sound recorded, or my computer is just not playing the sound back, good grief!
great lyrics though,
“The Jolly Banker”
Wilco (a Woody Guthrie cover)
G******************************************* C
My name is Tom Cranker, and I’m a jolly banker,
G************************************************* D
I’m a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.
C******************************************* G
I safeguard the farmers and widows and orphans,
G******************************************** D************** G
Singin’ I’m a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.
[G]When dust storms are sailing, and[C] crops they are failing,
[G]I’m a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.[D]
[C]I check up your shortage and[G] bring down your mortgage,
[G]Singin’ I’m a jolly banker, jolly[D] banker am I.[G]
[G]When money you’re needing, and[C] mouths you are feeding,
[G]I’m a jolly banker, jolly[D] banker am I.
[C]I’ll plaster your home with a[G] furniture loan,
[G]Singin’ I’m a jolly banker,[D] jolly banker am I.[G]
[G]If you show me you need it, I’ll[C] let you have credit;
[G]I’m a jolly banker, jolly banker am I[D].
[C]Just bring me back two for the one[G] I lend you,
[G]Singin’ I’m a jolly banker, [D]jolly banker am I.
[G]When your car you’re losin’ and[C] sadly your cruisin’,
[G]I’m a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.[D]
[C]I’ll come and foreclose, get your[G] car and your clothes,
[G]Singin’ I’m a jolly banker, jolly[D] banker am I.[G]
[G]When the bugs get your cotton, the [C]times they are rotten,
[G]I’m a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.[D]
[C]I’ll come down and help you, I’ll [G]rape you and scalp you,
[G]Singin’ I’m a jolly banker, jolly[D] banker am I.[G]
[G]When the landlords abuse you or [C]sadly misuse you,
[G]I’m a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.[D]
[C]I’ll send down the police to[G] keep you from mischief,
[G]Singin’ I’m a jolly banker, [D]jolly banker am I.[G]
[G]Singin’ I’m a jolly banker,[D] jolly banker am I.[G]
[G]Singin’ I’m a jolly banker, [D]jolly banker am I.[G]
