Testo J. Edgar - Ry Cooder
Testo della canzone J. Edgar (Ry Cooder), tratta dall'album My Name Is Buddy
Down on the farm we had a pig
J. Edgar was his name
He'd eat up all our victuals
And start back up again
Just like the vacuum cleaners
They sell down in the lane
Well that's how J. Edgar Hoover got his name
Now mama baked a cherry pie
And set it out to cool
So we'd have something good to eat
When we got home from school
J. Edgar climbed up on the porch
And ate up all that pie
When we got home that morning
We heard our mama cry
J. Edgar J. Edgar
Just look what you've done
You ate up the cherry pie
That was for everyone
We made it through the dusters
And the hoppers too
But God help us J. Edgar
'Cause nothin's safe from you
We had an extra man named Bob
He wouldn't work a lick
He drank that moonshine liquor
And it always made him sick
We rode to church on Sunday
And stayed awhile in town
When we reached home at suppertime
Poor Bob could not be found
He wasn't in the parlor
And he wasn't in the lane
Drinking in the pantry
Or sleeping in the hay
His hat was in the pig pen
That he always wore
Poor Bob won't be drinking
Moonshine liquor anymore
J. Edgar J. Edgar
It just don't seem fair
You ate Bob the hired hand
While we were at prayer
Let's say a prayer for poor ol' Bob
And our country too
God help us J. Edgar
Nobody's safe from you
