Lyrics Democrat Man - John Lee Hooker

Democrat Man

Democrat put us on our feet
These crazy women they vote them out
Democrat put us on our feet
These crazy women they voted them out
I don’t think they make the same mistake
They won’t make the same mistake no more
They told them, «Ah, send your sons home»
They did just that, they send them home to stay without a job
They won’t make that same mistake no more
Democrat put us on our feet
These crazy women they vote them out
I ain’t goin' down, I ain’t goin' down, no I ain’t
I ain’t goin' down to the welfare store
It won’t be long, 'fore the democrats be back in again
I know the girls, I know the girls, I know the girls
You girls ain’t gon' make that same mistake again no more, I know you ain’t
The men vote them in and the women, the women vote 'em out
I ain’t got no shoes, no shoes
But I ain’t goin' to that welfare store
You know why?
It won’t be long 'fore election time
Democrats be in
I know I get shoes, I get clothes, when the democrats get back in again
Vote them, they vote them in, I’m a democrat man, I’m a democrat man
Please, please don’t be no fool no more
Hmm, hmm I ain’t goin' down to that welfare store
It won’t be long, whoa yeah
I’m a democrat, I’m a democrat man
And I’ll be until the day I die
