d'b. No. 3230. Emma Dusenberry, Men?, Ark., 1936. By courtesy of Sidney Robertson, Lawrence Powell and Charles Seeger. Said to have been used as an anti-Blaine song- in the Cleveland-Blaine campaign.
Mrs. Emma Dusenberry of Mena, Arkansas, sings "The Dodger." She leanjed it in the i88o5s, when a farmer could still make a living, "just as sure as he was born."
1 Yes, the candidate's a dodger, yes, a well known dodger, Yes, the candidate's a dodger, yes, and Pm a dodger tooj He'll meet you and treat you and ask you for your vote, But look out, boys, he's a-dodging for a note!
