Dedicated to Trump: "Worried Man Blues"
"Worried Man Blues": Woodie Guthrie
"It takes a worried man to sing a worried song,
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song...
I'm worried now but I won't be worried long.
Went across the river, I lay down to sleep,
Went across the river, I lay down to sleep'
When I woke up, had shackles on my feet!
Twenty one links of chain around my leg;
Twenty-one links of chain around my leg;
And on each link, there's an initial of my name.
The train ride is 21 coaches long;
And my gal I love is on that train and gone!
Asked that judge what's gonna be fine;
Asked that judge what's gonna be the fine;
Twenty-one years on the rooky mountain line!
Twenty one years to pay my awful crime!
Twenty one one years to pay my awful crime!
And I still got ninety-nine!!!"
