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 i'd dish for

Wish i had a dollar a day





Turkeys are for flyin'

Chickens are for eatin'

I'm all for fun

Fun's forbidden

Forbidden's forgotten

And forgotten's 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

I'd wear wood teeth

If i was a policeman

I'd walk me a stone beat

If i was a singer

I'd stop right now

I wish i had a dollar a day
