John Mellencamp – Country Gentleman Lyrics  Share

From John Mellencamp's album: Big Daddy

Country gentleman walked a crooked mile,
Got our money in his pocket.
Did it all with a very handsome smile.
Now, he^,s livin^, it up in a great big office.
He ain^,t a-gonna help no poor man.
He ain^,t a-goona help no poor man.
He ain^,t a-gonna help no poor man.
He^,s just gonna help his rich friends.

He ain^,t a-gonna help no women.
He ain^,t a-gonna help no children.
He^,s just gonna help his rich friends.

Country gentleman, we see him on T.V.,
Glad handin^, folks and chattin^, to the nation.
We never knew what really to believe.
Just word upon slogan with emotional connection.

[Chorus:]
He ain^,t a-gonna help no poor man.
[ Country Gentleman lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/j/john-mellencamp/country-gentleman/ ]
He ain^,t a-gonna help no children.
He ain^,t a-gonna help no women.
He^,s just gonna help his rich friends.

And in the papers all we^,d ever read is
So and so big-shot signed his resignation.
Now, country gentleman he wants us to believe
That he^,s kind and honest with the best intentions.

[Chorus]

Country gentleman, now there^,s a bird that flew
High above his nation, prayed on its weakness.
Picked our bones and threw it in his stew.
Thank God he went back to California.

[Chorus]
