Jolly Banker
by Woody Guthrie

My name is Tom Cranker and I'm a jolly banker,
I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.
I safeguard the farmers and widows and orphans,
Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.

When dust storms are sailing, and crops they are failing,
I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.
I check up your shortage and bring down your mortgage,
Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.

When money you're needing, and mouths you are feeding,
I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.
I'll plaster your home with a furniture loan,
Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.

If you show me you need it, I'll let you have credit,
I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.
Just bring me back two for the one I lend you,
Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.

When your car you're losin', and sadly your cruisin',
I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.
I'll come and forclose, get your car and your clothes,
Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.

When the bugs get your cotton, the times they are rotten,
I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.
I'll come down and help you, I'll rake you and scalp you,
Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.

When the landlords abuse you, or sadly misuse you,
I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.
I'll send down the police chief to keep you from mischief,
Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.

Tristezza... sembrava immortale!

This weapon kills fascists!

[funkazzista]

This weapon kills fascists!

Quello era Woody Guthrie.

[batman]

This weapon kills fascists!

Quello era Woody Guthrie.

e non era una "weapon" ma una "guitar", mi sembra...

Mi correggo: non era né "weapon" né "guitar": nel 1943 Woody Guthrie scrisse sulla sua chitarra "this machine kills fascists".

Puntigliosi e filologici saluti

[funkazzista]

machine

[El Rojo]

[batman]

velocissimi, eh?

manco ho fatto in tempo a correggere...

[funkazzista]

Beh, sai com'è: non ci si lascia MAI scappare l'occasione di rimarcare un errore venale di un altro forumista, dimostrando così di saperla più lunga
Se poi il forumista in fallo è uno come batman, l'occasione è doppiamente ghiotta!

Woody e Pete

[OdinEidolon]

This weapon kills fascists!

Quello era Woody Guthrie.

Fui sempre convinto del contrario, mea culpa.
