THE JOLLY BANKER
As recorded by Woody Guthrie on "Woody at 100"

My name is Tom Cranker and I'm a jolly banker.
    I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.
I safeguard the farmers and widows and orphans,
    Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.

When dust storms are sailin' and the crops they are failin',
    I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.
I check up your shortage and bring down your mortgage,
    Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.

[Similarly:]

When money you're needing and mouths you are feeding,
I'll plaster your home with a furniture loan.

If you show me you need it, I'll let you have credit.
Just bring me back two for the one I lend you.

When your car you're a-losin' and sadly you're cruisin',
I'll come and foreclose, get your car and your clothes.

When the bugs get your cotton, times they are rotten,
I'll come down and help you; I'll rape you; I'll scalp you.

When the landlords abuse you or sadly misuse you,
I'll send down the police to keep you from mischief.
