cal smith - macarthur's hand lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
with high cheekbones and dark sad eyes and sh+ggy co+rs+ black hair
the old man squared his shoulders and returned the judge’s stare
when the judge pr+nounced him guilty to the charge of vagrancy
he said i’ve heard your honor now your honor you hear me

[chorus]
for i once shook the great macarthur’s hand
he pinned his medal on me ’cause i was his kind of man
i stood my ground in that red hot h+ll when brave men turned and ran
yes i once shook the great macarthur’s hand

[verse 2]
i’ve got no job or money just a few old ragged clothes
but i’m not a thief or beggar and it’s no crime to be broke
i hadn’t harmed a single soul when they arrested me
i was fit to fight your war am i not fit to walk your streets

[verse 3]
now i came through that war unharmed that’s what the records show
but macarthur felt and saw the scars that war left on my soul
and frankly i don’t give a d+mn what your kind thinks of me
i earned a great man’s handshake and that’s all the pride i need

[chorus]
for i once shook the great macarthur’s hand
he pinned his medal on me ’cause i was his kind of man
i stood my ground in that red hot h+ll when brave men turned and ran
yes i once shook the great macarthur’s hand
yes i once shook the great macarthur’s hand
