Lindbergh Lyrics


Mr. Charlie Lindbergh, he flew to old Berlin,
Got him a big Iron Cross, and he flew right back again
To Washington, Washington.Mrs. Charlie Lindbergh, she come dressed in red,
Said, I'd like to sleep in that pretty White House bed
In Washington, Washington.Lindy said to Annie: We'll get there by and by,
But we'll have to split the bed up with Wheeler, Clark, and Nye
In Washington, Washington.Hitler wrote to Lindy, said Do your very worst,
Lindy started an outfit that he called America First
In Washington, Washington.All around the country, Lindbergh he did fly,
Gasoline was paid for by Hoover, Clark, and Nye
In Washington, Washington.Lindy said to Hoover: We'll do the same as France:
Make a deal with Hitler, and then we'll get our chance
In Washington, WashingtonThen they had a meetin', and all the Firsters come,
Come on the walk and they come on the run
In Washington, WashingtonYonder comes Father Coughlin, wearin' the silver chain,
Cash on his stomach and Hitler on the brain.
In Washington, WashingtonMister John L. Lewis would sit and straddle the fence,
His daughter signed with Lindbergh, and we ain't seen her since

In Washington, WashingtonHitler said to Lindy: Stall em all you can,
Gonna bomb Pearl Harbor with the help of old Japan.
In Washington, WashingtonThen on a December mornin', the bombs come from Japan,
Wake Island and Pearl Harbor, kill fifteen hundred men.
Washington, WashingtonNow Lindy tried to join the army, but they wouldn't let im in,
Fraid he'd sell to Hitler a few more million men.
In Washington, WashingtonSo I'm gonna tell you people, if Hitler's gonna be beat,
The common working people have got to take the seat
In Washington, Washington.And I'm gonna tell you workers, fore you cash in your checks:
They say America First, but they mean America Next
In Washington, Washington.

Woodrow Wilson "Woody" Guthrie (July 14, 1912–October 3, 1967) was an American songwriter and folk musician. Guthrie's musical legacy consists of hundreds of songs, ballads and improvised works covering topics from political themes to traditional songs to children's songs. Guthrie performed continually throughout his life with his guitar frequently displaying the slogan "This Machine Kills Fascists". Guthrie is perhaps best known for his song "This Land Is Your Land", which is regularly sung in American schools. Many of his recorded songs are archived in the Library of Congress.
