Grant County NM Raging GranniesOh, Donny Boy
Oh, Donald Trump, the crowds, the crowds are calling
For you to leave and let us all find peace.
You are a stain, a stain on our democracy,
So we declare that your reign is to cease.

And when you’re gone, a new day will be dawn…ing
The world will blend in loving harmony
We’ll face a new and bri-i-ghter tomorrow
Oh, Donny boy, oh Donny boy, you’ve got to go!

Your shameful acts have cau…sed so much suffering,
Around the world and in our country, too
Inte..grit..y will be our sacred covenant
For human beings of every path and hue.

And when you’re gone, a new day will be dawn…ing
Justice and truth will once again be known
We’ll face a new and bri-i-ghter tomorrow
Oh, Donny boy, oh Donny boy, you’ve got to go!
Oh, Donny boy, Oh Donny boy, you’ve GOT to go!
