The Unwelcome Guest - Billy Bragg and Wilco[00:00:00]
To the rich man's bright lodges[00:00:08]
I ride in this wind[00:00:11]
On my good horse I call you[00:00:15]
My shiny black Bess[00:00:19]
To the playhouse of fortune[00:00:23]
To take the bright silver[00:00:27]
And gold you have taken[00:00:31]
From somebody else[00:00:35]
And as we go riding[00:00:39]
In the damp foggy midnight[00:00:42]
You snort my good pony[00:00:47]
And you give me your best[00:00:50]
For you know and I know[00:00:54]
Good horse 'mongst the rich ones[00:00:58]
How oftimes we go there[00:01:02]
An unwelcome guest[00:01:06]
I never took food[00:01:18]
From the widows and orphans[00:01:21]
And never a hardworking man I oppressed[00:01:25]
So take your pace easy[00:01:33]
For home soon like lightning[00:01:37]
We soon will be riding[00:01:41]
My shiny black Bess[00:01:44]
No fat rich man's pony[00:01:48]
Can ever overtake you[00:01:52]
And there's not a rider[00:01:56]
From the east to the west[00:01:59]
Could hold you a light[00:02:04]
In this dark mist and midnight[00:02:07]
When the potbellied thieves[00:02:11]
Chase the unwelcome guest[00:02:14]
I don't know good horse[00:02:27]
As we trot in this dark here[00:02:30]
That robbing the rich[00:02:34]
Is for worse or for best[00:02:37]
They take it by stealing[00:02:41]
And lying and gambling[00:02:45]
And I take it my way[00:02:49]
My shiny Black Bess[00:02:53]
I treat horses good[00:02:57]
And I'm friendly to strangers[00:03:00]
I ride and your running[00:03:04]
Makes my guns talk the best[00:03:07]
And the rangers and deputies[00:03:12]
Are hired by the rich man[00:03:15]
To catch me and hang me[00:03:19]
My shining black Bess[00:03:23]
Yes they'll catch me napping one day[00:03:57]
And they'll kill me[00:04:02]
And then I'll be gone[00:04:05]
But that won't be my end[00:04:08]
For my guns and my saddle[00:04:12]
Will always be filled[00:04:16]
By unwelcome travelers[00:04:20]
And other brave men[00:04:24]
And they'll take the money[00:04:28]
And spread it out equal[00:04:31]
Just like the Bible[00:04:35]
And the prophets suggest[00:04:38]
But men that go riding[00:04:43]
To help these poor workers[00:04:46]
The rich will cut down[00:04:50]
Like an unwelcome guest[00:04:53]
