Lyrics:
landed in the old Northwest,
Seattle, Washington
Although I'd a-traveled many miles,
I never made a friend,
For I could never get along in life
With
the use of worrying? (no use)
What's the use of anything?
Leave me alone Mrs Washington
I've done plenty of time on my own
What's the use of worrying?
roll out to the sea
But river, while you're rolling you can do some work for me.
Now from Washington and Oregon you can hear them factories a-hum,
I was out on the leave at the time just duckin' the fog nosin' around like a hungry dog
In that crazy place called Washington DC
I saw a crowd
and my buddies we are traveling people
We like to go down to restaurant row
Spend those Euro-dollars
All the way from Washington to Tokyo
I see them in
old town,
From Washington Heights to Harlem on down.
There's a-mighty many people all millin' all around,
They'll kick you when you're up and knock
or Easter,
Washington and the rest, Christmas we love you the best.

[Chorus:]
All the way from Washington
Her bread-winner begs off the bathroom floor
"We live for just these twenty years
Do we have to die
Settling over Washington
A trip to the market
A trip around the world
Where the evening meal
Is negotiable, if there is one.
This is a lonely life
of that ragged old flag
You see, we got a little hole in that flag there when
Washington took it across the Delaware
And it got powder-burned
Well I've been from Boston to LA seen Boulder Dam and Frisco Bay
Into New York City and Washington
Seen Montreal and Saskatchewan and Rhode Island
the fore before the act
You take ten good men and guts and luck
And you might navigate the whirl and the suck
When General Washington was in his knicker
Washington to claim the crown
Let the whole world know that, the King was in town
As I, arrived, the crowd started to cheer
And then someone yelled out,

(You're lucky to have ancestors like that),
you were born with a feather in your hat.
(You're

Last night I watched the news from Washington, the capitol
The Russians escaped while we weren't watching them, like Russians will
Now we've got

Under the God, under the God
Ten steps into the crazy, crazy
Washington heads in the toilet bowl
Don't see supremacist hate
Right wing dicks in
Well, I've been from Boston to L.A.

I seen New York City and Washington

And then a telegram come from Washington station,
This is how it read,
"Oh that brave engineer that run '97,
"Is lyin' in Danville dead."
"Cause
Ol' '97 roll."
And then a telegram come from Washington station,
This is how it read:
"Oh that brave engineer that run ol 97,
"Is lyin in old
For a dime you can see Kankakee or Paree
Or Washington crossing the Delaware
Oh! Lydia, oh! Lydia, say have you met Lydia
Oh! Lydia,
had not been in Washington many more days than three
When I fell in love with a pretty little girl
And she fell in love with me
She fell in love
Washington, D.C.
A mother and child, the baby maybe two
Months old
Prepare themselves for sleep and feeding
The shadow of the capitol dome
Slides across his
Last night I watched the news from Washington, the capitol
The Russians escaped while we weren't watching them
like Russians will
Now we've got all this
To one whose name was Nancy Hanks
Abraham, Abraham
She gave this land the finest son
Who ever went to Washington
Abraham, Abraham
