My American Nephew

The president dialed, the president called
Uncle Sam picked up the phone, said, "The plan has been stalled"
From Californ' to Washington

All the president's horses, all the president's men
They couldn't step foot in the white house again
From Californ' to Washington

Yankee Doodle Dandy, handy with a gun
He's got them no good bandits scramblin' on the run
From Silverton to Santa Fe

Uncle Sam was hitting on Lady Liberty
He whispered, "Let me know if you want to be free"
From Washington to Buffalo

Another ol' rat race has come and passed
It surely ain't the first and it ain't gonna be the last
From East LA to the Frisco Bay

Another ol' election, who's gonna win?
Every couple years a new one shuffles in
From Californ' to Washington

Washington's got dirty with a thirty gallon flood
Their eyes are full of mud and their hands are full of blood
It needs a wash, ol' Washington

If you wants to be a president, step up and take a shot
Really now, good people, is this the best we got?
From Washington to Californ'

Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelt and Washington
Where have you been boys? Where have you gone?
From Philadelphia to Pennington

Saddle me an eagle, I'm riding into town
Just pray the Lord above that I don't get shot down
From Tennessee to New Orleans

Uncle Sam picked up the heart of the land
Keeps it in his pocket when it ain't in his hand
From Illinois to Idaho

Uncle Sam took me to see my aunt
Said, "She can surely do it if I can't"
From Alabam' to San Anton'

Goodbye my darling, I hate to bid farewell
But I hear them ringing that cracked and broken bell
From Baltimore to NYC

I took my troubles and I took my ragged flag
Took my red, white and blues, put 'em in a gunny bag
I'm travelin' on, on down the road

Well it's right here where I was born
And it'll be right here, Lord, where I'll die and be mourned
From Michigan to the USA

Northern breeze a'blowin through the land of the free
A one eyed dirty scoundrel don't get to bother me
I'm free in my own mind
