Stetson Kennedy
Billy Bragg and Wilco

I done spent my last three cents
Mailing my letter to the president
I didn't make a show, I didn't make a dent
So I'm swinging over to this independent gent
Stetson Kennedy
Writing his name in
I cain't win out to save my soul
Long as smathers-dupont's got me in the hole
Them war profit boys are squawking and balking
That's what's got me out here walking and talking
Knocking on doors and windows
Wake up and run down election morning
And scribble in stetson Kennedy
I ain't the world's best writer nor the world's best speller
But when I believe in something I'm the loudest yeller
If we fix it so's you can't make money on war
We'll all forget what we're killing folks for
We'll find us a peace job equal and free
Dump smathers-dupont in a salty sea
Well, this makes stetson kennedy the man for me
Words: woody guthrie (1950) - music: billy bragg (1997)

Lyrics by Billy Bragg and Wilco

  Against the Law   Airline to Heaven   All You Fascists Are Bound to Lose   At My Window Sad and Lonely   Birds and Ships   Black Wind Blowing   Blood of the Lamb   California Stars   Christ for President   Eisler On The Go   Feed Of Man   Hesitating Beauty   Hoodoo Voodoo   Hot Rod Hotel   I Guess I Planted   I Was Born   Ingrid Bergman   Joe Dimaggio Done It Again   Meanest Man   My Flying Saucer   One by One   Remember the Mountain Bed   Secret of the Sea   Secrets of the Sea   She Came Along to Me   Someday Some Morning Sometime   Someday, Some Morning, Sometime   The Unwelcome Guest   Way Over Yonder In The Minor Key
