Democrat Man

John Lee Hooker · Other Songs - John Lee Hooker

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



But I don't think they make the same mistake

Won't make the same mistake, no more

They told them, send your sons home

They did just that, they send them, home to stay without a job

I recommend, 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, 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 them out



I ain't got no shoes, no shoes, no shoes don't fit

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, in

I'm a democrat man, I'm a democrat man

Please, please, don't be no fool, no more



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'm dying
