Three Chords And The Truth - Ry Cooder[00:00:01]

I'm going to tell you a story right here[00:00:04]

Huh you may not believe it[00:00:06]

I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night standin' in the prison yard[00:00:11]

They were taking poor Joe chained and bound to a Utah firing squad[00:00:18]

Well he turned and looked at me right then sayin' Don't you be misled[00:00:25]

They're trying to tear our free speech down and Buddy they ain't near quit yet[00:00:32]

See they framed me on a killin' charge you know I wouldn't lie to you[00:00:39]

But the only crime here that I done was three chords and the truth[00:00:46]

Three chords and the truth oh three chords and the truth[00:00:54]

Well the only crime that Joe Hill done was three chords and the truth[00:01:01]

Well he sang his good old union songs he got his message through[00:01:08]

But they couldn't stand to hear a workingman sing three chords and the truth[00:01:15]

I see you don't believe you're old friend Buddy here[00:01:25]

Heh take a drink I think you need it[00:01:28]

Oh J Edgar Hoover liked to hear the darkies sing till one man changed that all around[00:01:37]

Paul Robeson was a man that you couldn't ignore and that's what drove J Edgar down[00:01:44]

He called up his New York Klan boyfriends sayin' I got something good for you[00:01:51]

Get right down there to Peekskill New York town and kill three chords and the truth[00:01:58]

Three chords and the truth oh three chords and the truth[00:02:05]

Well the only crime you ever got from Paul was three chords and the truth[00:02:13]

Now if this is the land of democracy I got one question for you[00:02:20]

Why wasn't Paul Roberson set free on three chords and the truth [00:02:27]

I see you still don't believe it[00:02:51]

I'll bother you one more time[00:02:54]

I'll bother you one more time right mister[00:02:57]

Now they took Pete Seeger before the law and put him on the witness stand[00:03:02]

But he stood right up to tyranny with just a banjo in his hand[00:03:10]

Such a righteous banjo picker watchin' out for me and you[00:03:17]

That was just a man who wouldn't back down on three chords and the truth[00:03:24]

Three chords and the truth three chords and the truth[00:03:32]

Well the only crime Pete Seeger done was three chords and the truth[00:03:38]

Yah he sang his freedom songs real good he's still getting his message through[00:03:46]

Better check out old Pete Seeger on three chords and the truth[00:03:53]

Three chords and the truth well its three chords and the truth[00:04:00]

You'd check out your old friend Buddy right now on three chords and the truth[00:04:07]

Better check out old Harlan Howard personal friend of mine[00:04:15]

Check out old Harlan on three chords and the truth[00:04:24]

Thank you so much[00:04:28]
