You journeyed down to a Southern town last summer
To show the folks a brand new way of life
But all you've shown the folks around there 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
(ain't he right)
(ain't he right)
It matters not to you how people suffer
And if they do, to you it's just a game
You bring a lot of trouble to a town and then you leave
That's part of your Communistic aim
I detect a little Communism
I can see it in the things you do
Communism, socialism
Call it what you like
There's very little difference in the two
Now ain't I right
(ain't he right)
(ain't he right)
Your followers sometimes have been a bearded, bathless 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
This country's got some 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 aquainted Communistic kiss
Now ain't I right
(ain't he right)
(ain't he right)
Let's look and find some strong and able leaders
It's time we find just where our neighbors stand
If we're to win this war with Communism
Let's fight it here as well as Vietnam
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 blessings of our great almighty God
Across the fields of freedom that were given to us
With the blessings of our great almighty God
