Ain't I Right?--Johnny Freedom (Marty Robbins), 1966
You came down to this southern town last summer
To show the folks a brand new way of life.
But all you've shown the folks around here is trouble,
And you've only added misery to their strife.
Your concern is not to help the people,
And I'll say again, though it's been often said,
Your concern is just to bring discomfort, my friend,
And your policy is just a little red.
Now, ain't I right?
It matters not to you how people suffer,
And should they, you'd consider that a gain.
You bring a lot of trouble to the town and then you leave.
That's part of your Communistic game.
I detect a little Communism.
I can see it in the things ya do.
Communisim, socialism call it what you like,
There's very little difference in the two.
Now, ain't I right?
Your followers sometimes have been a bearded, hatless bunch.
There's even been a minister or two.
A priest, a nun, a rabbi and an educated man
Have listened and been taken in by you.
Aw, the country's full of two-faced politicians
Who encourage you with words that go like this.
Burn your draft card if you like, it's good to disagree.
That's a get acquainted Communistic kiss.
Now, ain't I right?
One politician said it would be nice to send some blood
And help the enemy in Vietnam.
That's what he says, here's what I say,
Let's just keep the blood.
Instead let's send that politician man.
Let's rid the country of the politicians,
Who call the tramps that march out in our streets.
Protesting those who want to fight for freedom, my friend,
This kind of leader makes our country weak.
Now, ain't I right
Let's look and find the strong and able leaders
It's time we found just how our neighbours stand.
If we're to win this war with Communism,
Let's fight it here as well as Vietman.
Let's rise as one and meet our obligations
So Communistic boots will never trod
Across the fields of freedom that were given to us
With the blessing of our great almighty God.
