Uncle Sam (I'm a Patriot)
(Harlan Howard)
Uncle Sam, I work hard every day
But there ain't much left when I draw my pay
Then I hear you're givin' those millions away
To somebody outside the USA.
Uncle Sam, Uncle Sam
Uncle Sam I'm a patriot, yes I am
And even though you made me mad as cane
If you need me Uncle just call my name.
Now the little dirt farmer works all of his life
And leaves eight dollars to his kids and wife
While the big land owner is a millionare
He made it by lettin' his land stand bare.
Uncle Sam, Uncle Sam
Uncle Sam I'm a patriot, yes I am
And even though you made me mad as cane
If you need me Uncle just call my name.
--- Instrumental ---
I get choked up every time I hear
The national anthem loud and clear
And though I've got a complaint or two
You can write my name in red white and blue.
Uncle Sam, Uncle Sam
Uncle Sam I'm a patriot, yes I am
And even though you made me mad as cane
If you need me Uncle just call my name.
Uncle Sam, Uncle Sam
Uncle Sam I'm a patriot, yes I am
And even though you made me mad as cane
If you need me Uncle just call my name.
Uncle Sam, Uncle Sam
Uncle Sam I'm a patriot, yes I am
And even though you made me mad as cane
If you need me Uncle just call my name...
