Tell Me Why You Like Roosevelt Lyrics - Defying Gravity - Jesse Winchester

Traditional 

Tell me why you like Roosevelt (poor man's friend) 

That's why I like Roosevelt (poor man's friend) 

That's why I like Roosevelt (poor man's friend) 

Good God almighty, he's the poor man's friend. 

'Cause in the year of nineteen and thirty-two 

We had no idea just what we would do 

All our finances had flowed away 

Till my dad got a job with the WPA. 

And that's why I like Roosevelt (poor man's friend) 

That's why I like Roosevelt (poor man's friend) 

That's why I like Roosevelt (poor man's friend) 

Good God almighty that's the poor man's friend 

Good God almighty that's the poor man's friend.

Tell me why you like Lester B (poor man's friend)

Good God almighty that's the poor man's friend 

Good God almighty that's the poor man's friend. 

'Cause in the year of nineteen and sixty-seven 

I was a somewhat younger man 

The call came to bloody glory came 

And I would not raise my hand. 

'Cause I'm baptized by water 

So I'll pass on the one by fire 

If you want to fight 

Go on and fight if that be your desire.

Good God almighty that's the poor man's friend 

Good God almighty that's the poor man's friend.
