I ain't a communist necessarily, but I been in the red all my life.

I better quit my talking 'cause I told you all I know But please remember, pardner, wherever you may go The people are building a peaceful world, and when the job is done, That'll be the biggest thing that man has ever done.

You oil field workers, come and listen to me I'm goin' to tell you a story about old John D. That company union made a fool out of me.
