So Long Harry Truman
I can't stand to read the papers
seems like all the news is bad
and an empty anger keeps me
from being really sad.
These are strange times we live in
and hard games we play
wager very carefully and play 'em as they lay.
Don't play no cards ain't in your hand
Don't play no cards ain't in your hand
So long Harry Truman
goddamn it's hard to find an honest man
No longer sure of waking
No longer sure of sleep
A prisoner bound by promises
He knew he could not keep
And someone said 'let's hang him
For he is a fool'
Ah but tell me just how was it
That he came to rule?
Don't play no cards ain't in your hand
Don't play no cards ain't in your hand
So long Harry Truman goddamn it's hard to find an honest man
So long, Harry Truman, goddamn it's hard to find an honest man
So long Harry Truman
So long Harry Truman
Goddamn it's hard to find an honest man
Never trust an enemy
and never cheat a friend
Just doing what you think is right
Usually works out in the end
And the president thought of Truman
When he knew the end was near
You can pass it on for quite a while
But it's true the buck stops here
Don't play no cards ain't in your hand
Don't play no cards ain't in your hand
So long Harry Truman goddamn it's hard to find an honest man
So long, Harry Truman, goddamn it's hard to find an honest man
So long Harry Truman
So long Harry Truman
So long Harry Truman
So long Harry Truman
Goddamn it's hard to find an honest man
So long
So long
So long (fade)
