Old American Songs: Set I No. 2, The Dodger "Campaign Song"

Yes, the candidate's a dodger, yes, a well known dodger

Yes, the candidate's a dodger, yes, and I'm a dodger too

He'll meet you and treat you and ask you for your vote

But look out boys: he's a dodgin' for a note,

Yes, we're all dodgin', a dodgin', dodgin', dodgin

Yes, we're all dodgin' out away through the world

Yes, the preacher he's a dodger, yes, a well known dodger

Yes, the preacher he's a dodger, yes, and I'm a dodger too

He'll preach you a gospel and tell you of your crimes

But look out boys: he's a dodgin' for your dimes

Yes, we're all dodgin', a dodgin', dodgin', dodgin

Yes, we're all dodgin' out away through the world

Yes, the lover he's a dodger, yes, a well known dodger

Yes, the lover he's a dodger, yes, and I'm a dodger too

He'll hug you and kiss you and call you his bride

But look out girls: he's a tellin' you a lie.

Yes, we're all dodgin', a dodgin', dodgin', dodgin

Yes, we're all dodgin' out away through the world
