12 Mar 99 - 01:26 PM (#62660) Subject: RE: woody's lament From: Rick Fielding First thought this might be some Guthrie song and then remembered an old tune that goes "Woody knows nuthin' but hangin' on a bough, ahh, but the skies are blue. Mournin' for his own true love, as I my dear for you... as I my dear for you. Is this even remotely the direction you're going in? |

One day I'll hear it again I know. Obviously some of the lyric is "Pastures of Plenty".......but damn!!!!!!! I KNOW that tune. catspaw |

I'm seein' your world of people and things, Your paupers and peasants and princes and kings. Hey, hey Woody Guthrie, I wrote you a song 'Bout a funny ol' world that's a-comin' along. Seems sick an' it's hungry, it's tired an' it's torn, It looks like it's a-dyin' an' it's hardly been born. Hey, Woody Guthrie, but I know that you know All the things that I'm a-sayin' an' a-many times more. I'm a-singin' you the song, but I can't sing enough, 'Cause there's not many men that done the things that you've done. Here's to Cisco an' Sonny an' Leadbelly too, An' to all the good people that traveled with you. Here's to the hearts and the hands of the men That come with the dust and are gone with the wind. I'm a-leaving' tomorrow, but I could leave today, Somewhere down the road someday. The very last thing that I'd want to do Is to say I've been hittin' some hard travelin' too.
