Kingfish

[00:09.07] There's a hundred-thousand Frenchmen in New Orleans
[00:13.06] In New Orleans there are Frenchmen everywhere
[00:17.93] But your house could fall down
[00:20.04] Your baby could drown
[00:23.04] Wouldn't none of those Frenchmen care
[00:27.12] Everybody gather 'round
[00:32.07] Loosen up your suspenders
[00:34.18] Hunker down on the ground
[00:37.20] I'm a cracker and you are too
[00:41.24] But don't I take good care of you
[00:47.20] Who built the highway to Baton Rouge?
[00:51.17] Who put up the hospital and built you schools?
[00:56.36] Who looks after shit-kickers like you?
[01:01.47] The Kingfish do
[01:05.47] Who gave a party at the Roosevelt Hotel?
[01:09.43] And invited the whole north half of the state down there for free
[01:14.30] The people in the city had their eyes bugging out
[01:18.43] Cause everyone of you looked just like me
[01:24.40] Kingfish, Kingfish
[01:29.52] Everybody sing
[01:35.53] Kingfish, Kingfish
[01:40.64] Every man a king
[01:46.54] Who took on the Standard Oil men
[01:48.61] And whipped their ass just like he promised he'd do?
[01:55.66] Ain't no Standard Oil men gonna run this state
[02:00.58] Gonna be run by little folks like me and you
[02:05.66] Kingfish, Kingfish
[02:11.69] Friend of the working man
[02:16.97] Kingfish, Kingfish
[02:21.96] The Kingfish gonna save this land
[02:27.98]
