Mean Talking Blues - Woody Guthrie/The Almanac Singers/Bess Hawes[00:00:00]
I'm the meanest man that ever had a brain[00:00:07]
All I scatter is aches and pains[00:00:09]
I'm carbolic acid[00:00:13]
And a poison face[00:00:14]
And I stand flat footed[00:00:15]
In favor of crime and disgrace[00:00:17]
If I ever done a good deed[00:00:21]
I'm sorry of it[00:00:22]
I'm mean in the east mean in the west[00:00:26]
Mean to the people that I like the best[00:00:29]
I go around a causin' lot of accidents[00:00:31]
And I push folks down[00:00:33]
And I 'cause train wrecks[00:00:34]
I'm a big disaster[00:00:37]
Just goin' somewhere's to happen[00:00:39]
I'm an organized famine[00:00:43]
Studyin' now I can be a little bit meaner[00:00:45]
I'm still a whole lot too good[00:00:49]
To suit myself[00:00:50]
Just mean[00:00:53]
I ride around on the subway trains[00:00:57]
Laughin' at the tight shoes dealin' you pain[00:00:59]
And I laugh when the car shakes from side[00:01:02]
To side[00:01:05]
I laugh my loudest when other people cry[00:01:06]
Can't help it[00:01:09]
I was born good[00:01:11]
I guess just like you or anybody else but then I[00:01:12]
Just turned off mean[00:01:16]
I hate ev'rybody don't think like me[00:01:20]
And I'd rather see you dead than[00:01:22]
I'd ever see you free[00:01:23]
Rather see you starved to death[00:01:26]
Than see you at work[00:01:27]
And I'm readin' all the books I can[00:01:28]
To learn how to hurt[00:01:30]
Daily misery[00:01:33]
Spread diseases[00:01:35]
Keep you without no vote[00:01:38]
Keep you without no union[00:01:40]
Well I hurt when I see you gettin'[00:01:43]
Long so well[00:01:45]
I'd ten times rather see you in the fires of hell[00:01:46]
I can't stand to fixed[00:01:49]
See you there all fixed up[00:01:50]
In that house so nice[00:01:52]
I'd rather keep you in that rotten hole[00:01:55]
With the bugs and the lice[00:01:56]
And the roaches[00:01:59]
And the termites[00:02:01]
And the sand fleas and the tater bugs[00:02:02]
And the grub worms and the stingarees[00:02:04]
And the tarantulas and the spiders[00:02:06]
Childs of the earth[00:02:09]
The ticks and the blow flies[00:02:10]
These is all of my little angels[00:02:13]
That go 'round helpin' me do the[00:02:15]
Best parts of my meanness[00:02:17]
And mosquiters[00:02:19]
Well I used to be a pretty fair[00:02:22]
Organized feller[00:02:24]
Till I turned a scab and then[00:02:25]
I turned off yeller[00:02:27]
Fought ev'ry union with teeth and toenail[00:02:29]
And I sprouted a six inch stinger[00:02:31]
Right in the middle of the tail[00:02:32]
And I growed horns[00:02:34]
And then I cut 'em off[00:02:37]
I wanted to fool you[00:02:39]
I hated union ever'where[00:02:41]
'Cause God likes unions[00:02:43]
And I hate God[00:02:45]
Well if I can get the fat to hatin' the lean[00:02:48]
That'd tickle me more than anything[00:02:51]
I've seen[00:02:53]
Then get the colors to fightin' one another[00:02:54]
And friend against friend[00:02:56]
And brother[00:02:57]
And sister against brother[00:02:58]
That'll be just it[00:03:00]
Everybody's brains a boilin' in turpentine[00:03:02]
And their teeth fallin'[00:03:05]
Out all up and down the streets[00:03:06]
That'll just suit me fine[00:03:07]
'Cause I hate ever'thing that's union[00:03:11]
And I hate ever'thing that's organized[00:03:13]
And I hate ever'thing that's planned[00:03:15]
And I love to hate and I hate to love[00:03:17]
I'm mean[00:03:20]
I'm just mean[00:03:23]
