Thread Name: Lyr Req: Old Man Trump (Woody Guthrie)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lyrics for Woody's song about Fred Trump
There's a little more:

I remembered that this past January, the Woody Guthrie Archives sent a sound clip to their mailing list that had around 30 seconds of Woody half-singing a few lines about Fred Trump. This was different from what was posted above, and some of it (toward the end) was hard to decipher. I saved the clip, and here's what it sounds like to me:

I don't like the way my landlord's treatin' me,
I don't like the way Mr. Trump is a-treatin' me,
I don't like the way that my landlord's treatin' me,
And… jump in the [???] if it will do,
I don' wanna do about him…


The unintelligible word sounds a little like "lock" but I can't be certain.

Joe, please check your PM box.
