Dead Presidents

by Willie Dixon

performed by Little Walter





Them dead presidents

Them dead presidents

Well I ain't broke but I'm badly bent

Everybody loves them dead presidents



A little bit of Lincoln can't park the car

Washington he can't go too far

Jefferson is good, played the track

If you think you're gonna bring some big bitch back



Them dead presidents...



Hamilton on a ten can get you straight

But Jackson on a twenty is really great

And if you're talkin about a poor man's friend

Grant will get you out of whatever you're in



Them dead presidents...



[harp solo]



A hundred dollar Franklin is really sweet

A five hundred McKinley is the one for me

If I get a Cleveland I'm really set

A thousand dollar Cleveland is hard to get



Them dead presidents...



[harp solo to fade]
