Woody Guthrie - Jolly Banker

Jolly Banker

by Woody Guthrie

My name is Tom Cranker and I'm a jolly banker,

I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.

I safeguard the farmers and widows and orphans,

Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.

When dust storms are sailing, and crops they are failing,

I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.

I check up your shortage and bring down your mortgage,

Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.

When money you're needing, and mouths you are feeding,

I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.

I'll plaster your home with a furniture loan,

Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.

If you show me you need it, I'll let you have credit,

I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.

Just bring me back two for the one I lend you,

Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.

When your car you're losin', and sadly your cruisin',

I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.

I'll come and forclose, get your car and your clothes,

Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.

When the bugs get your cotton, the times they are rotten,

I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.

I'll come down and help you, I'll rake you and scalp you,

Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.

When the landlords abuse you, or sadly misuse you,

I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.

I'll send down the police chief to keep you from mischief,

Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.

Much of Woody Guthrie's music remains as relevant today as it did when he was alive. Even if the bulk of his work was written during the Great Depression and WWII. Just so you know, I'm a late Gen-X'er in my mid 30s, and I credit Billy Bragg and Wilco and Son Volt for introducing me to this fine songwriter.

A true American Hero. Talking about truth and hardships that haunt our society even more. All our "Leaders" of today combined wouldn't even be worthy to wipe Guthrie's ass. He will always remain timeless, or at least until the Jolly Banksters establish the Ministry of Truth.

Willy Porter's "How to Rob a Bank" might be considered a modern day version of "Jolly Banker".
