Talking Sailor Blues - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]
In bed with my woman just singin' the blues[00:00:10]
Heard the radio tellin' the news[00:00:12]
That the big Red Army took a hundred towns[00:00:14]
And allies droppin' them two ton bombs[00:00:17]
Started hollerin' yellin' dancin' up and down like a bullfrog[00:00:21]
Doorbell rung and in come a man[00:00:33]
I signed my name I got a telegram[00:00:35]
Said "If you wanna take a vacation trip[00:00:39]
Got a dish washin' job on a Liberty ship"[00:00:42]
Woman a-cryin' me a-flyin' out the door and down the line[00:00:46]
'Bout two minutes I run ten blocks[00:00:56]
I come to my ship down at the dock[00:00:58]
Walked up the plank and I signed my name[00:01:01]
Blowed that whistle was gone again[00:01:04]
Right on out and down the stream[00:01:10]
Ships as fur' as my eye could see woman a-waitin'[00:01:14]
Ship loaded down with TNT all out across the rollin' sea[00:01:24]
Stood on the deck watched the fishes swim[00:01:29]
I'se a-prayin' them fish wasn't made out of tin[00:01:32]
Sharks porpoises jellybeans rainbow trouts[00:01:38]
Mudcats jugars all over that water[00:01:46]
This convoy's the biggest I ever did see[00:01:55]
Stretches all the way out across the sea[00:01:57]
And the ships blow the whistles and a-rang her bells[00:01:59]
Gonna blow them fascists all to hell[00:02:03]
Win some freedom liberty stuff like that[00:02:07]
Walked to the tail stood on the stern[00:02:21]
Lookin' at the big brass screw blade turn[00:02:23]
Listened to the sound of the engine pound[00:02:26]
Gained sixteen feet every time it went around[00:02:30]
Gettin' closer and closer look out you fascists[00:02:34]
I'm just one of the merchant crew[00:02:39]
I belong to the union called the N M U [00:02:41]
I'm a union man from head to toe[00:02:45]
I'm U S A and C I O fightin' out here on the waters[00:02:48]
To win some freedom on the land[00:02:56]
