Dressed like general butterfield.

Benny the barber, luke and me,
Passed out tickets cautiously,
To see the burning of the soup,
Down at lucys chicken coop.
Then of course ferdinand,
Started out doing charlie chan.
That last atlas honkeys fall,
He says hes gonna do them all.

A voice just said hes not for real,
But its just his game,
And he carries no shame.
Still he done nobody wrong,
He knew he didnt belong,
But he went along.
Lookin to see if theres somebody,
Else hed like to be.

I cant help wonderin why theyd want to change his mind

Got a message in the mail,
Ferdinand was thrown in jail.
I left the snow with abigail,
Went on down to fix his bail.
They had him locked in a gunny sack,
His hands were tied behind his back.
He claimed he was a doukhobor (*)
But they never heard of that in baltimore.
The police said hed better go home,
And he went back alone,
Back to the snow.

Still he done nobody wrong,
He knew he didnt belong,
But he went along.
Lookin to see if theres somebody,
Else hed like to be,
Mainly free.
