Ferdinand The Imposter lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Ferdinand The Imposter lyrics Songwriters: Robertson, Robbie; Ferdinand standing in the tower Thinkin how to get the power Empress knows that it would cost her For Ferdinand The Impostor Came to me to make a deal Dressed like General Butterfield Couldn t wait to thank him for The stuffed birds and rubber door Donated to him from the poor It s just his game And he carries no shame But he done nobody wrong He knew he didn t belong But he went along Looking to see if there s somebody Else he d like to be Benny the Barber, Luke and me Passed out tickets cautiously To see the burning of the soup Down at Lucy s chicken coop Then of course Ferdinand Started out doing Charlie Chan That last atlas honky s fall He says he s gonna do them all A voice just said he s not for real But it s just his game And he carries no shame But he done nobody wrong He knew he didn t belong But he went along Lookin to see if there s somebody Else he d like to be, mainly free It s hard, oh, don t you know? To be somebody that you don t even know But he s friendly, yes he s kind I can t help wonderin Why they d want to change his mind? I got a message in the mail Ferdinand was thrown in jail I left the snow with Abigail Went on down to fix his bail Locked in a gunny sack His hands were tied behind his back He claimed he was a Doukhobor But they never heard of that in Baltimore The police said He d better go home And he went back alone Back to the snow But still he done nobody wrong He just didn t belong but he went along Lookin to see if there s somebody Else he d like to be, mainly free song lyrics
