The Road Gang Song

Send me the trailer that you slept in
While all of us was sleeping on the ground
On the ground
Them corncobs
Was sticking in my backbone
But in your trailer you was sleeping mighty sound
Mighty sound
We waited so long for you to wake up
And lead us on to old Montgomery
Montgomery
And as we assembled on the highway
You cut out in your brand new Coupe de ville
We wondered if you was thinking of us
When you called us to come down and demonstrate
And demonstrate
And what about the federal aid you promised
Since it ain't come you done lost a delegate
