Country Gentleman lyrics

Country gentleman walked a crooked mile,
Got our money in his pocket.
Did it all with a very handsome smile.
Now, he`s livin` it up in a great big office.
He ain`t a-gonna help no poor man.
He ain`t a-goona help no poor man.
He ain`t a-gonna help no poor man.
He`s just gonna help his rich friends.

He ain`t a-gonna help no women.
He ain`t a-gonna help no children.
He`s just gonna help his rich friends.

Country gentleman, we see him on T.V.,
Glad handin` folks and chattin` to the nation.
We never knew what really to believe.
Just word upon slogan with emotional connection.

Chorus:
He ain`t a-gonna help no poor man.
He ain`t a-gonna help no children.
He ain`t a-gonna help no women.
He`s just gonna help his rich friends.

And in the papers all we`d ever read is
So and so big-shot signed his resignation.
Now, country gentleman he wants us to believe
That he`s kind and honest with the best intentions.

Chorus

Country gentleman, now there`s a bird that flew
High above his nation, prayed on its weakness.
Picked our bones and threw it in his stew.
Thank God he went back to California.

Chorus
