Mutt Romney Blues by Ry Cooder Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now boss Mitt Romney went for a ride
Pulled up on the highway side
Tied me down up on the roof
Boss I hollered, "Woof, woof, woof"
It don’t look right, it don’t seem right
Hot in the day, cold all night
Where I’m goin’ I just don’t know
Po' dog’s got to bottle up and go

[Chorus]
Well he had to ride, sho' 'nuff ride
Po' dog really had to ride
Not in the front, neither in back
Up on the roof like a cotton sack
Bottle up and go, sho' 'nuff go
Po' dog had to bottle up and go

[Verse 2]
Ol' massa boss cut me down
I won't spread that story 'round
All the plans and schemes you got on mind
They'd think I was lyin'
And the mean things that you tryin' to do
I won't blow the whistle on you
Take me down from this roof
Please masta boss, woof woof woof
[Chorus]
Travelin' wrong sho' 'nuff wrong
Po' dog was travelin' wrong
Not in front, neither in back
Up on the roof like a cotton sack
Bottle up and go, sho' 'nuff go
Po' dog, he had to bottle up and go
Bottle up and go, sho' 'nuff go
Po' dog, he had to bottle up and go
Bottle up!

[Chorus]
Yeah, bottle up and go, sho' 'nuff go
Po' dog, he had to bottle up and go
Bottle up and go, sho' 'nuff go
Po' dog, he had to bottle up and go
Bottle up and go, sho' 'nuff go
Po' dog, he had to bottle up and go
Bottle up and go, sho' 'nuff go
Po' dog, he had to bottle up and go

[Outro]
Don't let him ride
Now don't let Boss Mitt ride
If you let him ride, he'll want to drive
Don't you let him ride
If you let him ride, he'll want to drive
Now don't you let him ride
