J Edgar - Ry Cooder[00:00:01]

Down on the farm we had a pig J Edgar was his name[00:00:09]

He'd eat up all our victuals and start back up again[00:00:15]

Just like them vacuum cleaners they sell down in the lane[00:00:20]

Well that's how J Edgar Hoover got his name[00:00:25]

Now momma baked a cherry pie and set it out to cool[00:00:33]

So we'd have something good to eat when we got home from school[00:00:39]

J Edgar climbed up on the porch and ate up all that pie[00:00:45]

When we got home that mornin' we heard our mamma cry[00:00:49]

J Edgar J Edgar just look what you've done[00:00:54]

You ate up the cherry pie that was for everyone[00:00:59]

We made it through the dusters and the hoppers too[00:01:04]

But God help us J Edgar 'cause nothin's safe from you[00:01:08]

We had an extra man named Bob he wouldn't work a lick[00:01:22]

He drank bad moonshine likker and it always made him sick[00:01:27]

We rode to church on Sunday and stayed a while in town[00:01:33]

When we reached home at suppertime poor Bob could not be found[00:01:38]

He wasn't in the parlor[00:01:46]

And he wasn't in the lane[00:01:48]

Drinking in the pantry or sleepin' in the hay[00:01:52]

His hat was in the pigpen[00:01:58]

That he always wore[00:02:00]

Poor Bob won't be drinking moonshine likker anymore[00:02:03]

J Edgar J Edgar it just don't seem fair[00:02:07]

You ate Bob our hired hand while we were at prayer[00:02:12]

Let's say a prayer for old Bob and our country too[00:02:17]

God help us J Edgar nobody's safe from you[00:02:22]
