The Biggest Thing Man Has Ever Done - Woody Guthrie/Sonny Terry (桑尼·特里)[00:00:00]
I'm just a lonesome traveler [00:00:02]
The Great Historical Bum [00:00:04]
Highly educated from history I have come [00:00:06]
I built the Rock of Ages [00:00:09]
'Twas in the Year of One[00:00:11]
And that was about the biggest thing[00:00:14]
That man had ever done [00:00:15]
I worked in the Garden of Eden [00:00:17]
That was the year of two [00:00:18]
Joined the apple pickers union [00:00:20]
I always paid my due;[00:00:21]
I'm the man that signed the contract[00:00:23]
To raise the rising sun [00:00:25]
And that was about the biggest thing[00:00:27]
That man had ever done [00:00:28]
I was straw boss on the Pyramids [00:00:30]
The Tower of Babel too;[00:00:32]
I opened up the ocean let the migrant children through [00:00:33]
I fought a million battles[00:00:37]
And I never lost a one [00:00:38]
And that was about the biggest thing[00:00:40]
That man had ever done [00:00:42]
I beat the daring Roman [00:00:45]
I beat the daring Turk [00:00:46]
Defeated Nero's army with thirty minutes work [00:00:48]
I fought the greatest leaders[00:00:51]
And I licked them everyone[00:00:53]
And that was about the biggest thing[00:00:55]
That man had ever done [00:00:57]
I was in the Revolution[00:01:00]
When we set the country free;[00:01:02]
Me and a couple of Indians[00:01:04]
That dumped the Boston tea;[00:01:05]
We won the battle at Valley Forge [00:01:07]
The battle of Bully Run;[00:01:09]
And that was about the biggest thing[00:01:11]
That man has ever done [00:01:13]
There was a man across the ocean [00:01:15]
I guess you knew him well [00:01:17]
His name was Adolf Hitler [00:01:19]
Goddam his soul to hell;[00:01:20]
We kicked him in the panzers[00:01:22]
And put him on the run [00:01:24]
And that was about the biggest thing[00:01:26]
That man has ever done [00:01:27]
I built mines and mills[00:01:31]
And factories to run for Uncle Sam;[00:01:32]
I turned th' ploughs[00:01:33]
And wheels to feed my soldiers in your lands;[00:01:34]
This Nazi job's a tough 'un it'll take us everyone [00:01:36]
'Cause this is about the biggest thing[00:01:40]
That man has ever done [00:01:42]
There's warehouse guys and teamsters[00:01:45]
And guys that skin the cats[00:01:47]
Guys that run my steel mill [00:01:49]
My furnace and my blast[00:01:50]
We'll stop the Axis rattlesnakes[00:01:52]
And thieves of old Nippon[00:01:54]
And that will be the biggest thing[00:01:55]
That man has ever done [00:01:57]
I'd better quit my talking [00:02:00]
'Cause I told you all I know [00:02:01]
But please remember pardner [00:02:03]
Wherever you may go [00:02:04]
The people are building a peaceful world [00:02:07]
And when the job is done[00:02:08]
That'll be the biggest thing[00:02:10]
That man has ever done [00:02:12]
Yes that'll be the biggest thing[00:02:14]
That man has ever done[00:02:16]
