Lindbergh

Woody Guthrie


Mister charlie lindbergh, he flew to old berlin
Got him a big iron cross, and he flew right back again
To washington, washington
Mrs. Charlie lindbergh, she come dressed in red
Said: "I'd like to sleep in that pretty white house bed
In washington, washington. "

Lindy said to annie: "we'll get there by and by
But we'll have to split the bed up with wheeler, clark, and nye
In washington, washington. "
Hitler wrote to lindy, said "do your very worst. "
Lindy started an outfit that he called america first
In washington, washington

All around the country, lindbergh he did fly
Gasoline was paid for by hoover, clark, and nye
In washington, washington
Lindy said to hoover: "we'll do the same as france
Make a deal with hitler, and then we'll get our chance. "
In washington, washington
Then they had a meetin', and all the firsters come
Come on a walk and they come on a run
In washington, washington

Yonder comes father coughlin, wearin' the silver chain
Gas on his stomach and hitler on the brain
In washington, washington
Mr. John l. Lewis would sit and straddle a fence
But his daughter signed with lindbergh
And we ain't seen her since
In washington, washington
Hitler said to lindy: "stall 'em all you can
Gonna bomb pearl harbor with the help of old japan. "
In washington, washington

Then on a december mornin', the bombs come from japan
Wake island and pearl harbor
Kill fifteen hundred men
In washington, washington
Now lindy tried to join the army
But they wouldn't let him in
Afraid he'd sell to hitler a few more million men
In washington, washington

So I'm a-gonna tell you people, if hitler's gonna be beat
The common workin' people
Has got to take the seat
In washington, washington
And I'm gonna tell you workers
'Fore you cash in your checks
They say "america first, " but they mean "america next! "
In washington, washington
