Tom T. Hall - Man Who Hated Freckles lyrics
[Tom T. Hall - Man Who Hated Freckles lyrics]
If I live forever I will not forget
The man who hated freckles that I met
He was absolute about it
And his hate intensified
He said I hate them folks
With freckles on their eyes
I can't stand them folks with
Freckles he would say
They're tearing down the good old USA
I've never met a one who couldn't dance
And they'll steal your watermelons if
They ever get a chance
Oh, he hated every freckle that he saw
He said they should be shot down by the law
They oughta send them all
Back where they're from
And he said would you let
Your daughter marry one
He said I hate them folks
With freckles in my sleep
They're on welfare and their
Houses ain't too neat
They moved in near some
Fair complected friends
And them freckled folks are running down
The neighborhood we're in
Well, he'd see a kid with
Freckles and he cuss
Said because of them my children have the bus
We wouldn't have the trouble we have seen
If it wasn't for that Martin Luther Queen
But the man who hated
Freckles had some friends
And they organized a band of freckle's clan
The man who hated freckles may be sick
But as far as I'm concerned he
Was a stupid son of a
The man who hated freckles that I met
He was absolute about it
And his hate intensified
He said I hate them folks
With freckles on their eyes
I can't stand them folks with
Freckles he would say
They're tearing down the good old USA
I've never met a one who couldn't dance
And they'll steal your watermelons if
They ever get a chance
Oh, he hated every freckle that he saw
He said they should be shot down by the law
They oughta send them all
Back where they're from
And he said would you let
Your daughter marry one
He said I hate them folks
With freckles in my sleep
They're on welfare and their
Houses ain't too neat
They moved in near some
Fair complected friends
And them freckled folks are running down
The neighborhood we're in
Well, he'd see a kid with
Freckles and he cuss
Said because of them my children have the bus
We wouldn't have the trouble we have seen
If it wasn't for that Martin Luther Queen
But the man who hated
Freckles had some friends
And they organized a band of freckle's clan
The man who hated freckles may be sick
But as far as I'm concerned he
Was a stupid son of a
