If I Was Washington

By townes van zandt
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
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 Id dish for
Wish I had a dollar a day
Turkeys are for flyin
Chickens are for eatin
Im all for fun
Funs forbidden
Forbiddens forgotten
And forgottens for gettin
I wish I had a dollar a day
Buzzards are for circling
Circles are for heroes
Heroes for floatin
Fiddles to nero
Fingers for countin
Numbers for zero
Wish I had a dollar a day
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
If I was washington
Id wear wood teeth
If I was a policeman
Id walk me a stone beat
If I was a singer
Id stop right now
I wish I had a dollar a day
