Woody Guthrie - The Jolly Banker lyrics

My name is Tom Cranker and I'm a jolly banker I'm a Jolly banker, jolly banker am I I safeguard the farmers and widows and orphans Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I When dust storms are sailing, and crops they are failing I'm a Jolly banker, Jolly banker am I I check up your shortage and bring down your mortgage Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I When money you're needing, and mouths you are feeding I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I I'll plaster your home with a furniture loan Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I If you show me you need it, I'll let you have credit I'm a Jolly banker, jolly banker am I Just bring me back two for the one I lend you Singin' I'm jolly banker, jolly banker am I When the bugs get your cotton, the times they are rotten I'm jolly banker, jolly banker am I I'll come down and help you, I'll rake you and scalp you Singin' I'm jolly banker jolly banker am I When the landlords abuse you, or sadly misuse you I'm a jolly banker, Jolly banker am I I'll send down the police chief to keep you from mischief Singin' I'm jolly banker, jolly banker am I
