Ballad of October 16th

Ballad of October 16th - Almanac Singers[00:00:00]

Written by:Millard Lampell[00:00:01]

It was on a Saturday night and the moon was shing bright[00:00:07]

They passed the conscription bill[00:00:12]

And the people they did say for many miles away[00:00:17]

'Twas the president and his boys on capitol hill[00:00:22]

Oh Franklin Roosevelt told the people how he felt[00:00:27]

We damned near believed what he said[00:00:32]

He said I hate war and so does Eleanor[00:00:37]

But we won't be safe 'till everybody's dead[00:00:42]

When my poor old mother died I was sitting by her side[00:00:56]

A promising to war I'd never go[00:01:02]

But now I'm wearing khaki jeans and eating army beans[00:01:06]

And I'm told that J P morgan loves me so[00:01:11]

I have wandered o'er this land a roaming working man[00:01:17]

No clothes to wear and not much food to eat[00:01:22]

But now the government foots the bill[00:01:26]

Gives me clothes and feeds me swill[00:01:28]

Gets me shot and puts me underground six feet[00:01:31]

Oh Franklin Roosevelt told the people how he felt[00:01:35]

We damned near believed what he said[00:01:40]

He said I hate war and so does Eleanor[00:01:45]

But we won't be safe 'till everybody's dead[00:01:49]

Why nothing can be wrong if it makes our country strong[00:02:03]

We got to get tough to save democracy[00:02:08]

And though it may mean war[00:02:12]

We must defend singapore[00:02:14]

This don't hurt you half as much as it hurts me[00:02:16]

Oh Franklin Roosevelt told the people how he felt[00:02:21]

We damned near believed what he said[00:02:26]

He said I hate war and so does Eleanor[00:02:30]

But we won't be safe 'till everybody's dead[00:02:35]
