If I was Washington
|
by Townes Van Zandt
|
|
If I was Washington
|
valleys would I forge for
|
If I was a fat man
|
fun would I gorge for
|
If I was gingus
|
gold would I horde for
|
Wish I had a dollar a day
|
|
If I was a gouger
|
gouge would I wish for
|
If I was a fisherman
|
fish would i fish for
|
If I was a french whore
|
frenchies I'd dish for
|
Wish I had a dollar a day
|
|
Turkeys are for flyin'
|
chickens are for eatin'
|
I'm all for fun
|
fun's forbidden
|
forbidden's forgotten
|
and forgotten's for gettin'
|
I wish I had a dollar a day
|
|
Buzzards are for circling
|
circles are for heroes
|
Heroes for floatin'
|
fiddles to Nero
|
Fingers for countin'
|
numbers for zero
|
Wish I had a dollar a day
|
|
If I was Washington
|
valleys would I forge for
|
If I was a fat man
|
fun would I gorge for
|
If I was gingus
|
gold would I horde for
|
Wish I had a dollar a day
|
|
If I was Washington
|
I'd wear wood teeth
|
If I was a policeman
|
I'd walk me a stone beat
|
If I was a singer
|
I'd stop right now
|
I wish I had a dollar a day
|
|
