Townes Van Zandt If I Was Washington

Tekst piosenki

[Chorus]
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

[Verse]
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 flying
Chickens are for eating
I’m all for fun
Fun’s forbidden
Forbidden’s forgotten
And forgotten’s for getting
I wish I had a dollar a day
Buzzards are for circling
Circles are for heroes
Heroes for floating
Fiddles to nero
Fingers for counting
Numbers for zero
Wish I had a dollar a day

[Chorus]

[Outro]
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
