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
