Talking Merchant Marine - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]
Written by:Guthrie[00:00:01]
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[00:00:15]
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[00:00:34]
I signed my name I got a telegram[00:00:36]
Said if you wanna take a vacation trip[00:00:39]
Got a dish washin' job on a liberty ship[00:00:43]
Woman a cryin'[00:00:47]
Me a flyin'[00:00:50]
Out the door and[00:00:52]
Down the line[00:00:53]
'Bout two minutes I run ten blocks[00:00:57]
I come to my ship down at the dock[00:00:59]
Walked up the plank and I signed my name[00:01:02]
Blowed that whistle was gone again[00:01:05]
Right on out and down the stream[00:01:10]
Ships as fur' as my eye could see[00:01:15]
Woman a[00:01:22]
Waitin'[00:01:22]
Ship loaded down with tnt all out across the rollin'[00:01:24]
Sea[00:01:28]
Stood on the deck watched the fishes swim[00:01:30]
I'se a prayin' them fish wasn't made out of tin[00:01:33]
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[00:01:58]
And the ships blow the whistles and a rang her[00:01:59]
Bells[00:02:01]
Gonna blow them fascists all to hell[00:02:03]
Win some freedom liberty stuff like here[00:02:08]
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[00:02:27]
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[00:02:48]
Fightin' out[00:02:53]
Here on the waters[00:02:53]
To win some freedom on the land[00:02:57]
