LYRICS TO THE BALLAD OF THE WALL Lyrics by Don Caron - Music: "The Eighth of January" (Old American fiddle tune). In 2018 they plan a little trip to plug up all the leaks along the southern border strip. They plan to surprise ‘em and to make a big arrest cause the president he told ‘em that they didn’t send their best They passed some laws but illegals kept a comin'. There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago. They gathered ‘em up and started to deport ‘em down to the border and back to Mexico. They gathered a militia and they named it after ice Wanted to be positive it didn’t sound too nice They searched in the churches and the schools and the mall And the president announced that he was gonna build a wall. The prez made rules but the courts overturned ‘em. He was ill-convinced that illegals had to go. He made some threats and that was disconcertin’ So they headed for the border and back to Mexico. You’d think we’d see why we wouldn’t want a wall Those people pay their taxes, 12 billion all in all. They pick all the fruit and the veggies from the field It’s pretty clear they end up on the raw end of the deal But the spread some lies, try to make em look like bad guys sayin’ that they’re criminals and on the public dole When it comes to fake news that one gets the grand prize Always change reality to fit the current goal Well we chase em through the briars and we chase em through the brambles ‘cause we need someone to blame when our economy is slow We’d better face the fact that our thinking is in shambles And our problems ain't coming from a place called Mexico. Now the fruit is hanging in the bushes and the trees and the farmers are a beggin’ won’t someone pick it please billions of dollars just a rottin’ on the ground and the gringos won’t do it - not a single worker found I wonder what we’ll do when they all just stop a comin' They handle all the jobs that we refuse to do Best of luck to you if it’s a farm that your runnin' 'cause chances are you’re never gonna find another crew. Well we chased em through the briars and we chased em through the brambles And why we wanna do that I guess I’ll never know We’d better face the fact that our thinking is in shambles And our problems ain't coming from a place called Mexico.
