Текст песни If I Was Washington - 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
Walk me a stone beat
If I was a singer
I'd stop right now
I wish I had a dollar a day
