John Lee Hooker Democrat Man lyrics

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
