Marty Robbins - Ain’t I Right

Ain’t I Right: Marty Robbins [1966] You came down to this southern town last summer To show the folks a brand new way of life But all you’ve shown the folks around here is trouble And you’ve only added misery to their strife Your concern is not to help the people And I’ll say again, though it’s been often said Your concern is just to bring discomfort, my friend And your policy is just a little red Now, ain’t I right (ain’t he right) (ain’t he right) It matters not to you how people suffer And should they, you’d consider that a gain You bring a lot of trouble to the town and then you leave That’s part of your Communistic game I detect a little Communisim I can see it in the things ya do Communisim, socialism call it what you like There’s very little difference in the two Now, ain’t I right (ain’t he right) (ain’t he right) Your followers sometimes have been a bearded, hatless bunch There’s even been a minister or two A priest, a nun, a rabbi and an educated man Have listened and been taken in by you Aw, the country’s full of two-faced politicians Who encourage you with words that go like this Burn your draft card if you like, it’s good to disagree That’s a get aquainted Communistic kiss Now, ain’t I right (ain’t he right) (ain’t he right) One politician said it would be nice to send some blood And help the enemy in Vietnam That’s what he says, here’s what I say Let’s just keep the blood Instead let’s send that politician man Let’s rid the country of the politicians, Who call us tramps, that march out in our streets Protesting those who wanna fight for freedom, my friend This kind of leader makes our country weak Now, ain’t I right (ain’t he right) (ain’t he right) Let’s look and find the strong and able leaders It’s time we found just how our neighbours stand If we’re to win this war with Communism Let’s fight it here as well as Vietman Let’s rise as one and meet our obligations So Communistic boots will never trod Across the fields of freedom that were given to us With the blessing of our great almighty God Across the fields of freedom that were given to us With the blessing of our great almighty God
