Birthday tribute – Woody Guthrie!
(July 14, 1912 – October 3, 1967)
I ain’t got no home… m’luck has finally stalled.
Just a willing worker… i go from job to job.
Cops make it hard… wherever i may go.
And i ain’t got no home in the world any more.
Brothers and sisters all… are filling up this road.
A hot and dusty road… where a million feet have trod.
Landlord took my home… and drove me from my door…
And i ain’t got no home in the world any more.
Worked the late-night shifts… scrubbin’ tile floors.
Paycheck in my hand… and out the mailbox door.
The plague found my partner… the clinic’s over full.
And i ain’t got no home in the world any more.
I detail pre-owned cars… i cleaned the hotel rooms.
Took the angry calls of extended warranty fools.
I worry all the time… like i never did before.
And i ain’t got no home in the world any more.
As i look around… it’s mighty plain to see.
This world is a strange… and funny place to be.
Owners are rich… the workers are poor…
And i ain’t got no home in the world any more.
I ain’t got no home… m’luck has finally stalled.
Just a willing worker… i go from job to job.
Cops make it hard… wherever i may go.
And i ain’t got no home in the world any more.
