歌词
Now, the government said right from the start
Do as he said do, we will do our part
Lord, the government's before me, oh, and I can't go wrong
Oh, the reason I'm singing this old lonesome song
The government went to Rockefeller, it makes no sand
He says, "Any way, government, to get this world to stand"
Lord, the government's before me, oh, and I can't go wrong
Now, that's the reason why I'm singing this old lonesome song
"Play it, man, play it
Yeah, the government's before us"
He went to Ford Brothers and told them like a man
They didn't care to sign any close there on their plan
Lord, the government is before me, oh, and I can't go wrong
And that's the reason why I'm singing this old lonesome song
It's on windows and doors in the shape of a bird
You don't have to wonder, or neither say you heard
Lord, the government is before me, oh, and I can't go wrong
And that's the reason why I'm singing this old lonesome song
"Oh, fiddle that thing"
