Sleepy John Estes Government Money
Now on the farm : they all have joined the government
loan
Now the government give you three years chance : and you
could have something of your own
Now the government furnish you a milkcow : a rooster and
some portion of hen
You know long through the spring : then you can have some
money to spend
Now the women used to [count, holler] on the bonus : but
they are [hollering, counting] on the *rent* check now
You know I didn't go to the army : but I am using this
government money anyhow
Now the governor he fought : for the plant of plenty corn
and wheat
You know long through the winter : you can have something
to eat
