The Jolly Banker

My name is Tom Cranker and I'm a jolly banker

I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I

I safeguard the farmers and widows and orphans

Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I

When dust storms are sailing and crops they are failing

I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I

I check up your shortage and bring down your mortgage

Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I

When money you're needing and mouths you are feeding

I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I

I'll plaster your home with a furniture loan

Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I

You show me you need it, I'll let you have credit

I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I

Just bring me back two for the one I lend you

Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I

When your car you're losin', and sadly you're cruisin'

I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I

I'll come and foreclose, get your car and your clothes

Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I

When the bugs get your cotton, the times they are rotten

I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I

I'll come down and help you, I'll rape you and scalp you

Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I

When the landlords abuse you or sadly misuse you

I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I

I'll send down the police chief to keep you from mischief

Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I

Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I

Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I
