Shop: I Ain't Got No Home

"I Ain't Got No Home" is one of my favorites, too, and I'm surprised it doesn't get more "play". I've heard lots of different versions(includint the one in the DT), so thought I'd post the lyrics from the paperback book mentioned above, just as a point of reference. Probably should have posted this under its own title, so excuse the "thread creep".

Best, Greg

I AIN'T GOT NO HOME IN THIS WORLD ANYMORE
Woody Guthrie
©1961 Ludlow Music, NY

I ain't got no home, I'm just a-ramblin' round
A hard workin' ramblin' man, I go from town to town
The police make it hard wherever I may go
And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.

I was farmin' on the shares, and always I was poor
My crops I laid into the banker's door
And my wife took down and died upon the cabin floor
And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.

Now as I look around its mighty plain to see
This wide wicked world is a funny place to be
The gamblin' man is rich and the workin' man is poor
And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.

This should probably be a different thread, but what the hell. I sing
another verse to "I Ain't Got No Home":

My brothers and my sisters are stranded on this road
This hot and dusty road that a million feet have trod
Rich man took my home and drove me from my door
And I ain't got no home in this world any more.

Is this not an original verse? If not, where did it come from?
