Talking Hard Work - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]

While we are on the subject of hard work [00:00:04]

I just wanted to tell you[00:00:05]

That I am a man who likes hard work [00:00:07]

I was born working[00:00:09]

And I worked my way up by hard work [00:00:10]

I ain't ever got no where [00:00:13]

But I got there by hard work [00:00:14]

Work of the hardest kind [00:00:17]

I been down and I been out[00:00:19]

I been disgusted I been busted[00:00:21]

And I couldn't be trusted [00:00:23]

I worked my way up[00:00:25]

And I worked my way down[00:00:26]

I been drunk and I been sober [00:00:27]

I been baptized and hyjacked [00:00:29]

Worked my way in jail[00:00:35]

And I worked my way outta jail[00:00:37]

Woke up a lot of mornins [00:00:39]

Didnt know where I was at [00:00:40]

The hardest work I ever done was[00:00:43]

When I was tryin to get myself[00:00:45]

A worried woman to help ease my worried mind [00:00:46]

I'm gonna tell ya just how much work I had to do to get this woman[00:00:50]

I was tellin you about[00:00:52]

I shook hands with 97 of her kinfolk and her blood relatives[00:00:55]

And I done just the same with 86 people[00:00:59]

Whos just her friends and her neighbors[00:01:01]

I kissed 73 babies[00:01:03]

And put dry pants on 34 of em well as others[00:01:05]

Done this same thing well[00:01:08]

There are a lot of other things just like this [00:01:10]

I held 125 wild horses and put saddles and bridles on more than that[00:01:14]

Harnessed some of the wildest and craziest teams in that whole country[00:01:19]

I rode 14 loco broncos to a stand still[00:01:25]

And I let 42 hound dogs lick me all over [00:01:28]

7 times Is bit by hungry dogs[00:01:32]

And I was chewed all to pieces by rattlesnakes and water moccasins on 2 river bottoms[00:01:35]

I chopped and carried 314 arm loads of stove wood[00:01:39]

109 buckets of coal[00:01:44]

Carried a gallon of kerosene 18 miles over the mountains[00:01:47]

Got lost lost a good pair of shoes in a mudhole[00:01:50]

And I chopped and weeded 48 rows of short cotton[00:01:55]

13 acres of bad corn[00:01:58]

I cut the sticker weeds out of 11 back yards[00:02:00]

All on account of cuz I wanted to show her[00:02:03]

That I was a man and I liked to work[00:02:05]

I cleaned out 9 barn lofts[00:02:07]

Cranked 31 cars all makes and models[00:02:10]

Pulled 3 cars out of mud holes and 4 or 5 out of snow drifts[00:02:13]

I dug 5 cisterns of water for some of her friends[00:02:17]

Run all kinds of errands[00:02:20]

Played the fiddle for 9 church meetins[00:02:22]

I Joined 11 separate denominations[00:02:24]

I joined up and signed up with 7 best trade unions I could find[00:02:27]

I paid my wages um a dues 6 months in advance[00:02:33]

I waded 48 miles of swamps and 6 big rivers[00:02:38]

Walked across 2 ranges of mountains and crossed 3 deserts[00:02:41]

I got the fever Sun stroke Malaria blue moonstruck skeeter bit Poison Ivy[00:02:45]

And the 7-year itch and the blind staggers[00:02:52]

I was give up for less lost and dead a couple of times[00:02:56]

Struck by lightning struck by Congress struck by friends and kinfolks[00:03:01]

Well as by 3 cars on highways A lot of times in peoples hen-houses[00:03:05]

I been hit and run down run over and walked on knocked around [00:03:10]

I'm just sittin here now tryin to study up what else I can do[00:03:14]

To show that women that I still ain't afraid of hard work[00:03:17]
