I'm no Communist

Via the unlikely source of Phred (who received it from the LP State Chair in Indiana) we can now all enjoy the insight of Country Music legend Grandpa Jones (Hee Haw!).

You can get the full version MP3 file here compliments of Susan Hogarth.

When you listen to the whole song you gain appreciation of the paradox of how far we have come and how little things have changed in half a century.

Heres a sample of the transcription. Remember to imagine with your hillbilly accent and Granpa's banjo in the background.

I'm no communist,

I can tell you that for sure.

I believe a man should own his home,

And house,

And car,

And cow.

I like this private ownership,

I wanna be left alone.

Let the government run its business,

And let me run my own.
