We like to hear him tell of things
That aren’t goin’ right;
About the that brings
Such trouble, day and night
When he’s up to speak, a mile
Is not too much to walk,
The journey’s allus worth the while
We like to hear him talk

He ran for office But a man
Of such speechmakin’ skill
Kin be more entertainin’ than
To work an’ jes’ keep still
Au sit around a-makin’ laws
An’ toe the party chalk,
We voted down our fav’rite, ’cause
We like to hear him talk
