The only song on Randy Newman’s Good Old Boys album to not have been written by Newman himself, “Every Man a King” was the campaign song of Louisiana governor and US Senator Huey “The Kingfish” Long and co-written in 1935 by LSU band director Castro Carazo and Long himself.
The lyrics touched on th...
Why weep or slumber America
Land of brave and true?
There's castles and clothing and food for all
All belongs to you
Ev'ry man a King, ev'ry man a King
For you can be a millionaire
But there's something belonging to others
There's enough for all people to share
When it's sunny June and December too
Or in the winter time or spring
There'll be peace without end
Ev'ry neighbor a friend
And ev'ry man a King
Every Man a King was written by Huey Long.
Every Man a King was produced by Lenny Waronker & Russ Titelman.
Randy Newman released Every Man a King on Tue Sep 10 1974.
