almanac singers – the dodger song lyrics
oh, the candidate’s a dodger, yes, a well-known dodger,
oh, the candidate’s a dodger, yes, and i’m a dodger too.
he’ll meet you and treat you and ask you for your vote,
but look out, boys, he’s a-dodgin’ for your vote.
we’re all a-dodgin’,
dodgin’, dodgin’, dodgin’,
oh, we’re all a-dodgin’ out the way through the world.
oh, the lawyer, he’s a dodger, yes, a well-known dodger,
oh, the lawyer, he’s a dodger, yes, and i’m a dodger, too.
he’ll plead your case and claim you for a friend,
but look out, boys, he’s easy for to bend.
oh, the preacher, he’s a dodger, yes, a well-known dodger, oh, the preacher, he’s a dodger, yes, and i’m a dodger, too. he’ll preach the gospel and tell you of your crimes, but look out, boys, he’s dodgin’ for your dimes.
oh, the merchant, he’s a dodger, yes, a well-known dodger, oh, the merchant, he’s a dodger, yes, and i’m a dodger, too. he’ll sell you goods at double the price, but when you go to pay him you’ll have to pay him twice.
oh, the farmer, he’s a dodger, yes, a well-known dodger, oh, the farmer, he’s a dodger, yes, and i’m a dodger, too. he’ll plow his cotton, he’ll plow his corn, but he won’t make a livin’ as sure as you’re born.
oh, the sheriff, he’s a dodger, yes, a well-known dodger, oh, the sheriff, he’s a dodger, yes, and i’m a dodger, too. he’ll act like a friend and a mighty fine man, but look out, boys, he’ll put you in the can.
oh, the general, he’s a dodger, yes, a well-known dodger, oh the general, he’s a dodger, yes, and i’m a dodger, too. he’ll march you up and he’ll march you down, but look out, boys, he’ll put you under ground.
oh, the lover is a dodger, yes, a well-known dodger, oh, the lover is a dodger, yes, and i’m a dodger, too. he’ll hug you and kiss you and call you his bride, but look out, girls, he’s telling you a lie.
