Huey Long | "Every man a King"

●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩ENGLISH۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬●
"Every Man a King" is a song cowritten by Louisiana's Governor and United States Senator Huey Pierce Long Jr. and Castro Carazo. Long was known for his political slogan "Every man a king," which is also the title of his 1933 autobiography and the catch-phrase of his Share Our Wealth proposal during the Great Depression. The song's lyrics include the lines "With castles and clothing and food for all/ All belongs to you". The song was co-written in 1935 by Huey Long and Castro Carazo, the band director of Louisiana State University, a former orchestra leader at the Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans brought to LSU by Long himself.

●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩LYRICS۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬●
Why weep or slumber, America
Land of brave and true
With castles, and clothing, and food for all
All belongs to you!

Every man a king, Every man a King
For you can be a millionaire
But theres something belonging to others
Theres enough for all people to share

When in sunny June, or December too
Or in the winter time or Spring!
There'll be peace without end
Every neighbour a friend
With every man a King!

Theres a million sad hearts in the nation today
Theres a million bowed heads hanging low

For the bravest of all
Had to answer the call
And our own Huey Long, had to go

And with deepest regret
We will never forget
With his might he would right every wrong

Let us all, say a prayer
He's in heaven somewhere
With a sigh we say goodbye Huey Long.
