[Verse 1] I done spent my last three cents Mailing my letter to the President Didn't make a show, I didn't make a dent So I'm swinging over to this independent gent [Bridge] Stetson Kennedy Writing his name in Stetson Kennedy Writing his name in [Verse 2] I can't win out to save my soul Long as Smathers-DuPont's got me in the hole Them war profit boys are squawking and balking That's what's got me out here walking and talking [Verse 3] Knocking on doors and windows
Wake up and run down election morning And scribble in Stetson Kennedy [Verse 4] I am not the world's best writer, I am not the world's best speller But when I believe in something I'm the loudest yeller If we fix it so you can't make no money on war Well we'll all forget what we was k**ing folks for [Verse 5] We'll find us a peace job equal and free We'll dump Smathers-Dupont in a salty sea Well, this makes Stetson Kennedy the man for me
