So Long Harry Truman(LP版) - Danny O’Keefe

I can't stand to read the papers
Seems like all the news is bad
And an empty anger keeps me
From feeling really sad
These are strange times we live in
Hard games we play
Wager very carefully
And play them as they lay
But don't play no cards ain't in your hand
But don't play no cards ain't in your hand
So long harry truman
Goddamn it's hard to find an honest man
No longer sure of waking
No longer sure of sleep
A prisoner bound by promises
We knew he could not keep
And someone said let's hang him
For he is a fool
Ah but tell me just how was it
That he came to rule
But don't play no cards ain't in your hand
But don't play no cards ain't in your hand
So long harry truman
Goddamn it's hard to find an honest man
So long harry truman
Goddamn it's hard to find an honest man
So long harry truman so long harry truman
Goddamn it's hard to find an honest man
Never trust an enemy never cheat a friend
Just doing what you think is right
Usually works out in the end
And the president thought of truman
When he knew the end was near
You can pass it on for quite a while
But it's true the buck stops here
But don't play no cards ain't in your hand
But don't play no cards ain't in your hand
So long harry truman
Goddamn it's hard to find an honest man
So long harry truman
Goddamn it's hard to find an honest man
So long harry truman so long harry truman
So long harry truman so long harry truman
Goddamn it's hard to find an honest man
So long so long so long
