Dead Presidents lyrics

Dead Presidents
by Willie Dixon
performed by Little Walter


Them dead presidents
Them dead presidents
Well I ain`t broke but I`m badly bent
Everybody loves them dead presidents

A little bit of Lincoln can`t park the car
Washington he can`t go too far
Jefferson is good, played the track
If you think you`re gonna bring some big bitch back

Them dead presidents...

Hamilton on a ten can get you straight
But Jackson on a twenty is really great
And if you`re talkin about a poor man`s friend
Grant will get you out of whatever you`re in

Them dead presidents...

[harp solo]

A hundred dollar Franklin is really sweet
A five hundred McKinley is the one for me
If I get a Cleveland I`m really set
A thousand dollar Cleveland is hard to get

Them dead presidents...

[harp solo to fade]
