Washington Talkin' Blues - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]

Written by：Guthrie[00:00:05]

Long about nineteen twentynine [00:00:11]

I owned a little farm was a doin' just fine [00:00:13]

Raised a little row crop raised some[00:00:17]

Wheat Sold it over at the county seat [00:00:20]

Drawed the money Raised a family [00:00:22]

But the dust came along [00:00:28]

And the price went down [00:00:29]

Didn't have the money when the bank come around;[00:00:30]

Tumble weeds and the black dust blowed [00:00:34]

So we hit the trail to the land where the waters floed [00:00:36]

Way out across yonder somewhere [00:00:39]

The hot old rocks and the desert[00:00:44]

Sand Made my mind run back to the dust bowl land [00:00:45]

But my hopes was high and we rolled[00:00:49]

Along To the Columbia River up in Washington [00:00:50]

Lots of good rain Little piece of land [00:00:54]

Feller might grow something [00:00:57]

We settled down on some cut[00:01:01]

Over land Pulled up brush and the stumps by hand [00:01:02]

Hot sun burnt up my first crop of wheat[00:01:06]

And the river down the canyon just 500 feet [00:01:08]

Might as we of been 50 miles [00:01:11]

Couldn't get no water [00:01:14]

We loaded our belongings and we lit out for town[00:01:17]

Seen the old vacant houses and farms all around [00:01:19]

And folks a leaving out [00:01:23]

If you're asking me[00:01:25]

That's as lonesome as sight as a feller can see [00:01:25]

Good land Grow anything you plant [00:01:30]

Get the moisture [00:01:34]

I struck a lumber town and heard the big saw sing [00:01:38]

And when business is good why lumber's king;[00:01:41]

I went to lookin' for a job but the man said no [00:01:45]

So we hit the skids on the old skid row [00:01:47]

Traipsing up and down [00:01:49]

Chasing a bite to eat Kids hungry Heard about a job [00:01:52]

So we hit the wheat Made about enough for the kids to eat [00:02:01]

Picked in the berries gathered in the fruit [00:02:04]

Hops peaches and the apples too [00:02:06]

Slept in just about everything except a good warm bed [00:02:09]

Been to Arizona been to California too [00:02:16]

Found the people was plenty but the jobs was few;[00:02:21]

Well maybe it's like the feller said [00:02:25]

When they ain't enough arok well [00:02:28]

Business is dead Sorta ailin' [00:02:29]

Ain't no money a changin' hands [00:02:35]

Just people changing places [00:02:38]

Folks wastin' gasoline a'chasin' around [00:02:42]

Now what we need is a great big dam[00:02:48]

To throw a lot of water out acrost that land [00:02:50]

People could work and the stuff would grow[00:02:54]

And you could wave goodbye to the old[00:02:56]

Skid Row[00:02:58]

Work hard raise all kinds of stuff kids too [00:03:02]

Take it easy[00:03:11]
