lirik lagu freddie mcclendon - king henry

[intro: henry mcmaster]
“i ask people not to listen to rumors. don’t get your information from these unofficial sources, cause 99% of the time they’re wrong”

[verse 1]
so a nineteen~year~old hated the governor
but the governor hated him too

and all the corrupt columbia lawyers
that tried to drag his daddy through
the mud, the grass, the driveway
and the courthouse in greenwood too

if he was gonna die for anything, i’m sad he died for you
because he always told me, he said:
freddie i’d rather be homеless in charleston
than have a housе in that capitol city

where carolina women drink coffee
and ‘crats grab tears and pity
and state school grads live on the streets
cashing checks to take a ride
all while the lawyers in columbia
still got the old boy southern pride

and if you look very closely y’all
there’s a drain right by that city hall
and it catches broken men
they’re sleeping with their maiden wives
and dating college jen
the swamp is growing thicker by the day
crowds growing faster
but they don’t got a word to say
they answer to mcmaster

[chorus]
ole king henry
let the people know
ole king henry
let the power go

[verse 2]
you hold the rivers
grab the coastlines
outlive all the rest

that “fought for freedom” bells and whistles
hanging on your vest
the old will never die
and rich men pay the rest to be
the ones that fight the battles
buried under clemson rings

i hate to see you stand up tall with [?] on his knees
graham never seems to tussle if the orange boy agrees
you pour the oil down the throats of children in the schools
and make old scott the symbol for all the people you abuse
[chorus]
ole king henry
let the people know
ole king henry
let the power go
ole king henry
crown that’s so divine
ole king henry
let the crescent die

[interlude]
southern boys live, and other men die
and women date them and carry their child
live in them islands
gates of [?]
hilton head gold
and kiawah beach
away from [?] that never do see
the way the ones live while they’re on the streets

gussing and coughing
wiling and reeling
nothing to gain
and never to reach

[chorus]
ole king henry
let the people know
ole king henry
let the power go
ole king henry
crown that’s so divine
ole king henry
(oh, better let the crescent of better)
let the crescent die
[breakdown]
don’t ever let palmetto die
(ole king henry)
don’t ever let those 1800’s soldiers die
(let the people know)
don’t let those ‘croppers in, go chase them off with knives
(ole king henry)

keep our professors from the 60’s and the 80’s
(let the power go)
let them run the schools, and run our reedy running rivers dry
(ole king henry)

keep all them pastors, that have teached our children bad
(crown that’s so divine)
keep all them priests, and wipe the past with wet old rags
(ole king henry)
keep all them crimson boys in copper mines, white trash
(let the crescent die)

keep all those people, and throw charleston in the shacks
(ole king henry)
burn all the houses for the graves of your dead men
(crown that’s so divine)
keep all the condos up in greenville for the feds
(ole king henry)
build over myrtle with a golf course for the sick
(let the crescent die)
and move down yankees just to fund it for the rich

[outro]
“i like it, i love it, i want some more of it”
