By Townes Van Zandt



If I Was Washington

Valleys Would I Forge For

If I Was A Fat Man

Fun Would I Gorge For

If I Was Gingus

Gold Would I Horde For

Wish I Had A Dollar A Day



If I Was A Gouger

Gouge Would I Wish For

If I Was A Fisherman

Fish Would I Fish For

If I Was A French Whore

Frenchies I'd Dish For

Wish I Had A Dollar A Day



Turkeys Are For Flyin'

Chickens Are For Eatin'

I'm All For Fun

Fun's Forbidden

Forbidden's Forgotten

And Forgotten's For Gettin'

I Wish I Had A Dollar A Day



Buzzards Are For Circling

Circles Are For Heroes

Heroes For Floatin'

Fiddles To Nero

Fingers For Countin'

Numbers For Zero

Wish I Had A Dollar A Day



If I Was Washington

Valleys Would I Forge For

If I Was A Fat Man

Fun Would I Gorge For

If I Was Gingus

Gold Would I Horde For

Wish I Had A Dollar A Day



If I Was Washington

I'd Wear Wood Teeth

If I Was A Policeman

I'd Walk Me A Stone Beat

If I Was A Singer

I'd Stop Right Now

I Wish I Had A Dollar A Day
