WALTER TROUT
"Be Careful How You Vote"
(Albert Luandrew / Sunnyland Slim)

Be careful how you vote
On every election day
Be careful how you vote
On every election day
'Cause the one that you vote for
He just might let you down

He say, "Gonna be your best friend"
Help you any way he can
But when he takes his seat
There's been a change of plan

So be careful how you vote
On every election day
'Cause the one that you vote for
He just might let you down
Lord, he just might let you down

He say, "Gonna get you a job
Cost of livin' too"
Say, "Gonna help the poor
And the senior cit'zens, too
But when he gets in
Lord, you know it's just the other way
For you can't do no more
For he is rich, you poor

Be careful how you vote
Be careful how you vote
Be careful how you vote
Lord, be careful how you vote
The one that you vote for
He just might let you down

Be careful how you vote, people
