Mind the Noose and Fare Thee Well

I got a dollar in my shoe
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
Listen, troops, hear what I do
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
Put that dollar in the bank
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
And when that tank gets delivered to me
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
I’m gonna park it 'neath a tree
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
Trick it out in red and fur
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
And turn it into a lowrider
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
NYC
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
Hooded strangers sing to me
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
Play war on 8-track cassettes
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
Slip into every chance I get
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
Burning bush and rockets blare
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
Here we go, but don’t know where
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
Have you any hope to sell
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
Smoke crack out the Liberty Bell
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
Frederick Douglas, hip-hop king
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
Came to me inside my dream
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
His advice rang like a bell:
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
Mind the noose and fare thee well
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
Careful, son, this river’s deep
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
It could put your soul to sleep
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
Page me on my prison cell
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
And mind the noose and fare thee well
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
I’m gonna drive to the River Styx
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
Gonna take Route 66
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
'Cause Chuck Berry taught me well
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
He said, Mind the noose and fare thee well
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
He said, Mind the noose and fare thee well
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
Jesus loves me, this I know
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
For my mother told me so
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
Saints alive and devil’s Hell
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
Oh, mind the noose and fare thee well
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
Mind the noose and fare thee well
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
Mind the noose and fare thee well
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
She said, Mind the noose and fare thee well
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
Oh, Mind the noose and fare thee well
(Mind the noose and fare thee well)
