Lindbergh Lyrics - Woody Guthrie

Mister Charlie Lindbergh, he flew to old Berlin 

Got 'im a big Iron Cross, and he flew right back again 

To Washington, Washington 

Misses Charlie Lindbergh, she come dressed in red 

Said: "I'd like to sleep in that pretty White House bed 

In Washington, Washington" 

Lindy said to Annie: "We'll get there by and by 

But we'll have to split the bed up with Wheeler, Clark, and Nye 

In Washington, Washington" 

Hitler wrote to Lindy, said "Do your very worst" 

Lindy started an outfit that he called America First 

In Washington, Washington 

All around the country, Lindbergh, he did fly 

Gasoline was paid for by Hoover, Clark, and Nye 

In Washington, Washington

Lindy said to Hoover: "We'll do the same as France 

Make a deal with Hitler, and then we'll get our chance 

In Washington, Washington" 

Then they had a meetin', and all the Firsters com 

Come on a-walkin', they come on a-runnin' 

In Washington, Washington 

Yonder comes Father Coughlin, wearin' the silver chain 

Cash on his stomach and Hitler on the brain 

In Washington, Washington 

Mister John L. Lewis would sit and straddle a fence 

His daughter signed with Lindbergh, and we ain't seen her since 

In Washington, Washington 

Hitler said to Lindy: "Stall 'em all you can 

Gonna bomb Pearl Harbor with the help of old Japan" 

In Washington, Washington 

Then on a December mornin', the bombs come from Japan 

Wake Island and Pearl Harbor, kill fifteen hundred men 

In Washington, Washington

Now Lindy tried to join the army, but they wouldn't let 'im in 

'Fraid he'd sell to Hitler a few more million men 

In Washington, Washington 

So I'm a gonna tell you people: If Hitler's gonna be beat 

The common workin' people has got to take the seat 

In Washington, Washington 

And I'm gonna tell you workers, 'fore you cash in your checks 

They say "America First," but they mean "America Next!" 

In Washington, Washington
