lyrics
Election Day
Come closer, little ones. I got a yarn to spin for you
About the way things once were done and the way they still are too.
Though he never ran for office, when it come election day
Ol’ Uncle Grampa’d deliver up the goods and then he’d dance away.
Uncle Grampa was a farmin’ man, a green thumb, that’s for sure,
Needed nothin’ but his double plow, his double mule, his double hoe.
So humble when you’d see him choppin’ ‘backer, bailin’ hay.
But he become a kingmaker when it come election day.
He’d give ‘em 15 US dollars, a pint o’ government whiskey too.
Ain’t too damn much a poor ol’ country can’t do.
Crawl out of your holler, holler out and go get paid.
Uncle Grampa’s comin’ ‘round and today’s election day.
Looky here:
A poor man can’t eat promises. He can’t ease his misery
Subsistin’ on a diet of photo-op democracy.
Gotta give him little somethin’ worth somethin’ right here in this life:
Strong drink to warm his belly, a little cash to warm his wife.
Every politicker got a tongue just like a fork.
You can look forward to a good screwin’ regardless who you go votin’ for.
These days you don’t get no liquor, damn sure don’t get no pay.
They’ll throw a monkey wrench in a vote machine
And throw your vote away.
But if you knew shit from shanola and wanted to elected be
Throw Uncle Grampa a roll o’ tens and a case o’ cheap whiskey.
He’d scour ridges in the pines the sun had never kissed
And bring you out at least a hunerd votes you did not know exist.
15 U.S. dollars, a pint o’ government whiskey too,
Ain’t too damn much a poor ol’ country boy cant do.
Crawl out of your holler, holler out, and go get paid.
Uncle Grampa’s comin’ ‘round and today’s election day.
