We're All Dodgin'
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 note
Oh we're all a-dodgin'
Dodgin' dodgin' dodgin'
Oh we're all a-dodgin'
On our way through the world
Oh the merchant is a dodger
Yes a well-known dodger
Oh the merchant is a dodger
Yes, and I'm a dodger too
He'll sell you the goods
At double the price
When you go to pay him
You'll have to pay him twice
Oh we're all a-dodgin'
Dodgin' dodgin' dodgin'
Oh we're all a-dodgin'
On our way through the world
Oh the lawyer is a dodger
Yes a well-known dodger
Oh the lawyer is a dodger
Yes, and I'm a dodger too
He'll plead your case
Like a mighty good friend
But look out boys
He's easy for to bend
Oh we're all a-dodgin'
Dodgin' dodgin' dodgin'
Oh we're all a-dodgin'
On our way through the world
Oh the general is a dodger
Yes a well-known dodger
Oh the general is 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 underground
Oh we're all a-dodgin'
Dodgin' dodgin' dodgin'
Oh we're all a-dodgin'
On our way through the world
Oh the preacher is a dodger
Yes a well-known dodger
Oh the preacher is a dodger
Yes, and I'm a dodger too
He'll preach you the gospel
Tell you of your crimes
But look out boys
He's a-dodgin' for your dimes
Oh we're all a-dodgin'
Dodgin' dodgin' dodgin'
Hallelujah I'm a-dodgin'
On our way through the world
Oh the doctor is a dodger
Yes a well-known dodger
Oh the doctor is a dodger
Yes, and I'm a dodger too
He'll come to you and cure you
And act like a friend
But when you get the bill
You'll be sick again
Oh we're all a-dodgin'
Dodgin' dodgin' dodgin'
Oh we're all a-dodgin'
On our way through the world
Oh the lover is a dodger
Yes a well-known dodger
Oh the lover is a dodger
Yes, and I'm a dodger too
Freddy I can hear
Those church bells chime
I can hear them too
So I'm dodgin' down the line
Oh we're all a-dodgin'
Dodgin' dodgin' dodgin'
Oh we're all a-dodgin'
On our way through the world
Oh the singer is a dodger
Yes a well-known dodger
Oh the singer is a dodger
Yes, and I'm a dodger too
Sitting on the porch
All day long
And he just keeps singing
That same damn song
Oh we're all a-dodgin'
Dodgin' dodgin' dodgin'
Oh we're all a-dodgin'
On our way through the world
Oh we're all a-dodgin'
Dodgin' dodgin' dodgin'
Oh we're all a-dodgin'
On our way through the world
Yes a well-known dodger
Oh the candidate's a dodger
