Corey Harris - The Jolly Banker lyrics

My name is Tom Cranker and I'm a jolly banker
I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I
I safeguard the farmers and
Widows and orphans
Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I

When dust storms are sailing and
Crops they are failing
I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I
I check up your shortage and
Bring down your mortgage
Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I

When money you're needing and
Mouths you are feeding
I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I
I'll plaster your home with a furniture loan
Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I

If you show me you need it
I'll let you have credit
I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I
Just bring me back two for the one I lend you
Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I

When your car you're losin'
And sadly you're cruisin'
I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I
I'll come and foreclose
Get your car and your clothes
Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I

When the bugs get your cotton
The times they are rotten
I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I
I'll come down and help you
I'll rape you and scalp you
Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I

When the landlords abuse you
Or sadly misuse you
I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I
I'll send down the police chief
To keep you from mischief
Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I
