Dear Mr. President (亲爱的总统先生) - Woody Guthrie Dear Mr President I set me down To send you greetings from my home town And send you best wishes from all the friends I know In Texas Alabama Ohio
And affiliated
I'm an ordinary guy worked most of my life Sometime I'll settle down with my kids and wife And I like to see a movie or take a little drink I like being free to say what I think
Sort of runs in the family
My grandpa crossed the ocean for the same reason
Now I hate Hitler and I can tell you why He's caused lots of good folks to suffer and die He's got a way of shoving folks around I figure it's about time we slapped him down Give him a dose of his own medicine
Lead poisoning
Now Mr President We haven't always agreed in the past I know But that ain't at all important now What is important is what we got to do We got to lick Mr hitler and until we do Other things can wait
In other words first we got a skunk to skin
War means overtime and higher prices But we're all willing to make sacrifices Hell I'd even stop fighting with my motherinlaw 'Cause we need her too to win the war
Old battle ax
Now as I think of our great land Of the cities and towns and farming land There's so many good people working every day I know it ain't perfect but it will be some day Just give us a little time
This is the reason that I want to fight Not because every thing's perfect or every thing's right No it's just the opposite I'm fighting because I want A better America with better laws
And better homes and jobs and schools And no more Jim crow and no more rules Like
You can't ride on this train 'cause you're a negro
You can't live here 'cause you're a jew
You can't work here 'cause you're a union man
There's a line keeps running through my head I think it was something joe louis once said
Said there's lots of things wrong But Hitler won't help 'em
Now Mr President
You're commanderinchief of our armed forces Ships and planes and the tanks and horses I guess you know best just where I can fight All I want to be is situated right To do the most damage
I never was one to try and shirk And let the other fellow do all the work So when the time comes I'll be on hand And make good use of these two hands Quit playing this banjo around with the boys And exchange it for something that makes more noise
So Mr President
We've got this one big job to do That's lick Mr Hitler and when we're through Let no one else ever take his place To trample down the human race
So what I want is you to give me a gun So we can hurry up and get the job done
