| 作词 : Bragg, Guthrie | |
| If the folks next door to me wasn't so good | |
| I'd do all the mean things anybody could | |
| I'd drink and i'd gamble and i'd louse around | |
| I'd be the meanest man in this whole town | |
| If i hadn't seen the light in that old lady's eyes | |
| I'd try to be a man that you would hate and despise | |
| I'd rave and i'd rant and i'd scream and yell | |
| And i'd chase all my neighbours from here to hell | |
| If i hadn't heard those kids laugh playing games | |
| I'd have nervous fits and i'd go insane | |
| I'd turpentine cats and tin can dogs | |
| And i'd smother people to death inside of holler logs | |
| If the people around me wasn't so nice | |
| I'd freeze my heart into a cake of ice | |
| I'd steal money from soldiers and working folks too | |
| I'd lend you a dollar and take back two | |
| If my wife didn't kiss me the way she does | |
| I'd carry four or five daggers and three or four guns | |
| I'd shoot craps and ramble and hang out late | |
| And i'd steal baby buggies and cadillac eights | |
| If my friends didn't write me those letters i get | |
| I'd get to be a dictator and be the worse one yet | |
| I'd be the only smart bird and you'd all be fools | |
| All i'd send you all away to war and i'd set home and rule | |
| If it wasn't for them songs i hear all of you sing | |
| I'd put a crown on my dome and i'd say i'm your king | |
| I'd kidnap some and blackmail others | |
| I'd peddle black market stuff and rob sisters and brothers | |
| If it wasn't for your talking i hear along the street | |
| I'd be the oneriest man that you ever did meet | |
| I'd preach the gospel of hate and i'd drink your blood | |
| But i can't be this bad because my folks are too good | |
