Aaron Copland Old American Songs: The Dodger (set One)
Yes, the candidate's a dodger, yes, a well known dodger
Yes, the candidate's a dodger, yes, and I'm a dodger too
He'll meet you and treat you and ask you for your vote
But look out boys: he's a dodgin' for a note,
Yes, we're all dodgin', a dodgin', dodgin', dodgin
Yes, we're all dodgin' out away through the world
Yes, the preacher he's a dodger, yes, a well known dodger
Yes, the preacher he's a dodger, yes, and I'm a dodger too
He'll preach you a gospel and tell you of your crimes
But look out boys: he's a dodgin' for your dimes
Yes, we're all dodgin', a dodgin', dodgin', dodgin
Yes, we're all dodgin' out away through the world
Yes, the lover he's a dodger, yes, a well known dodger
Yes, the lover he's a dodger, yes, and I'm a dodger too
He'll hug you and kiss you and call you his bride
But look out girls: he's a tellin' you a lie.
Yes, we're all dodgin', a dodgin', dodgin', dodgin
Yes, we're all dodgin' out away through the world
