Kingfish

랜디 뉴먼이 휴이 롱의 입장에서 쓴 곡. 주로 자기가 잘 했단 내용이다. 제목은 휴이 롱의 별명이었던 킹피쉬에서 직접적으로 따온 것.

1.인트로
There's a hundred thousand Frenchmen in New Orleans
In New Orleans, there are Frenchmen everywhere
But your house could fall down
Your baby could drown
Wouldn't one of those Frenchmen care!

Everybody, gather 'round
Loosen up your suspenders
Hunker down on the ground!
I'm a cracker, and you're one, too
But don't I take good care of you?

[1절]
Who built the highway to Baton Rouge?
Who put up the hospital and built you schools?
Who looks after shit-kickers like you?
The Kingfish do!


Who gave a party at the Roosevelt Hotel
And invited the whole north half of the state down there for free?
The people in the city
Had their eyes bugging out
Cause every one of you
Looked just like me!

후렴 1
Here come the Kingfish, the Kingfish
Everybody sing!
It's the Kingfish, the Kingfish
Every man a king! [1]

3절
Who took on the Standard Oil men
And whipped their ass
Just like he promised he'd do?
Ain't no Standard Oil men gonna run this state
Gonna be run by little folks like me and you!

후렴 2
It's the Kingfish, the Kingfish
Friend of the working man!
It's the Kingfish, the Kingfish
The Kingfish gonna save this land!
