[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
