I’m a cracker and you are too Don’t I take good care of you? [Verse 1] Who built the highway to Baton Rouge? Who put up the hospital and built you schools? Who looks after shit-kickers like you? The Kingfish do [Verse 2] Who gave a party at the Roosevelt Hotel And invited the whole north half of the state down there for free? The people in the city had their eyes bugging out Cause every one looked just like me [Chorus 1] Here come the Kingfish the Kingfish Everybody sing! It’s the Kingfish the Kingfish Every man a King [Verse 3] Who took on the Standard Oil men and whipped their ass? Just like he promised he’d do? Ain’t no Standard Oil men gonna run this state Gonna be run by little folks like me and you [Chorus 2] It’s the Kingfish the Kingfish Friend of the working man It’s the Kingfish the Kingfish The Kingfish gonna save ... this land [Coda] | | % | % |

Cette chanson évoque le personnage charismatique et populaire d'un leader local en Louisiane, qui se positionne comme le protecteur des citoyens ordinaires. Elle dépeint un homme qui se bat pour les intérêts des petites gens, tout en célébrant l'idée de solidarité et d'appartenance à une communauté. L'artiste souligne les contributions et les actions de ce leader, qui s'oppose aux puissants, comme les magnats du pétrole, et promet de défendre les droits des plus vulnérables. Le morceau trouve ses racines dans un contexte historique où la politique locale était marquée par des figures emblématiques qui cherchaient à offrir un soutien aux classes laborieuses face aux injustices. La chanson mélange ainsi humour et engagement, tout en ancrant ses thèmes dans la culture et l'identité de la région.
