Jolly Banker Lyrics

My name is Tom Ranker and I'm a jolly banker
I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I
I safeguard all the farmers and widows and orphans
I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I

If you show me you need it, I'll let you have credit
I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I
Just bring me back two for each one I lend you
I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I

When money you're needing and mouths you're feeding
I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I
I'll check out your shortage and bring up your mortgage

I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I

When your car you are losing and sadly you're cruising
I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I
I'll come and foreclose, take your car and your clothes
I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I

When the bugs get your cotton, the times they are rotten
I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I
I'll come down and help you, I'll rape you and scalp you
I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I

When the landlords abuse you, or sadly misuse you
I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I
I'll send down the police, keep you from mischief
I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I
