Irvine
The politician is a dodger a well known
dodger
Yes he is a dodger and I’m a dodger too
He’ll meet you and treat you shake hands and
gloat
look out boys he’s dodging for your vote.
Chorus:
O we’re all a dodger
A dodging dodging dodger
Yes we’re a dodger
All the way through the world.
The lawyer is a dodger a well known dodger
Yes he is a dodger and I’m a dodger too
He’ll plead your case and treat you as a
friend
Look out boys he’s easy for to bend.
The Clergyman’s a dodger a well known
dodger
Yes he is a dodger and I’m a dodger too
He’ll preach you the Gospel and absolve you
from sin
Meanwhile boys the money’s rolling in.
The merchant is a dodger a well known dodger
Yes he is a dodger and I’m a dodger too
He’ll sell you goods at double the prive
And when you come to pay him you’ll have to
pay him twice.
The general is a dodger a well known dodger
Yes he is a dodger and I’m a dodger too
He'll pop into town he’ll call for some
wine
I’m afraid a great many the gallows will
find.
The doctor is a dodger a well known dodger
Yes he is a dodger and I’m a dodger too
He'll treat you and care you for all you
possess
And when you lay dying he’ll rob you of the
rest.
HÖRPROBE
"Mein erstes grosses Vorbild war Woody Guthrie. Um 1940 herum, spielte er bei den legendären Almanac Singers und hat mit ihnen diesen Song aufgenommen. Ich habe ein paar Strophen hinzugefügt, um die Thematik abzurunden." (Andy Irvine).
