[Verse 1]
I done spent my last three cents
Mailing my letter to the President

Didn't make a show, I didn't make a dent
So I'm swinging over to this independent gent


[Chorus]
Stetson Kennedy
Writing his name in

Stetson Kennedy
Writing his name in


[Verse 2]
I can't win out to save my soul
Long as Smathers-DuPont's got me in the hole

Them war profit boys are squawking and balking
That's what's got me out here walking and talking


[Verse 3]
Knocking on doors and windows
Wake up and run down election morning

And scribble in Stetson Kennedy

[Verse 4]

I ain't the world's best writer, ain't the world's best speller
But when I believe in something I'm the loudest yeller
If we fix it so you can't make no money on war

Well we'll all forget what we was killing folks for

[Verse 5]

We'll find us a peace job equal and free
We'll dump Smathers-Dupont in a salty sea
Well, this makes Stetson Kennedy the man for me
