Sammy Sammy Uncle Sam
Your propaganda made me what I am
Lawd, lawd, lawd, lawdy, lawd
Nobody lie like Sammy do
White Bush Black Bush both the same
A warmonger by any other name
Oh lawd, lawdy, lawdy, lawd
Nobody kill like Sammy do
Sammy Sammy sailor and whore
Your taxation done made me poor
Lawd, lawd, lawd, lawdy, lawd
Nobody steal like Sammy do
Sammy Sammy the empire’s gone
It plundered and killed for way too long
Lawd, lawd, lawd, lawdy, lawd
Nobody strut like Sammy do
Sammy Sammy your soldiers be
Long since abandoned there across the sea
Lawd, lawd, lawd, lawdy, lawd
Nobody kill like Sammy do
Sammy Sammy mind the till
Nothing’s now as worthless as a dollar bill
Lawd, lawdy, lawdy, lawd
Nobody counterfeit like Sammy do.
Sammy Sammy your printing press
Made money good as gold into worthless mess
Lawd, lawd, lawd, lawdy, lawd
Nobody spend like Sammy do
Kill the heathens poison the land
Blood dripping from his armored hand
Lawd, lawd, lawd, lawdy, lawd
Nobody kill like Sammy do
It started pretty free and a loose confed
Then Sammy climbed into your bed
Lawd, lawd, lawd, lawdy, lawd
Nobody preach like Sammy do
|
The right to grow what you want
and produce what you can
Became a permission from Uncle Sam
Lawd, lawd, lawd, lawdy, lawd
Nobody rule like Sammy do
Tom’s guard of life and liberty
Became a thorny stranglin’ tree
Lawd, lawd, lawd, lawdy, lawd
Nobody squeeze like Sammy do
A nightwatchman to watch your back
Became a hell hound slavering on your neck
Lawd, lawd, lawd, lawdy, lawd
Nobody bite like Sammy do
Sammy said he was our friend
He led us down to poverty bend
Lawd, lawd, lawd, lawdy, lawd
Nobody con like Sammy do
Sammy Sammy dead and gone
I’m free to live now on my own
Lawd, lawd, lawd, lawdy, lawd
Nobody miss what Sammy do
