WELFARE CADILLAC Recorded by Guy Drake Words and music by Guy Drake I've never worked much, In fact, I've been poor all my life I guess all I really own Is ten kids and a wife This house I live in is mine But it's really a shack But I've always managed to somehow drive me a brand new Cadillac. The back door steps ... They done fell plumb down The front screen door is off and Laying somewhere out there on the ground The wind just now whooped Up another piece of that tar Roofing off the back; I sure hope it don't skin up that new Cadillac. The front porch post fell loose at the bottom It don't make no sense to fix 'em 'Cause that floor's just too darn rotten In Winter time we sometimes have some snow That blows in through the cracks If it gets too bad we all just pile up And sleep out there in that new Cadillac. I know the place ain't much But I sure don't pay no rent I get a check the first of every month From this here Federal Goverment Every Wednesday I get commodities Sometimes four or five sacks Pick 'em up down at the Welfare Office Driving that new Cadillac. Some folks say I'm crazy And I've even been called a fool But my kids get free books and All them there free lunches at school We get peanut butter and cheese And man, they give us flour by the sack 'Course them Welfare Checks They meet the payments on this new Cadillac. Now the way that I see it These other folk are the fools They're working and paying taxes Just to send my young'uns through school The Salvation Army cuts their hair and Gives them clothes to wear on their backs So we can dress up and ride around And show off this new Cadillac. But things are still gonna get better yet At least that's what I understand They tell me this new President Has put in a whole new poverty plan He's gonna send us poor folks money They say we're gonna get it out here in sacks In fact, my wife's already shopping around For her new Cadillac. cowboylyrics.com
