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

Written by：Guthrie[00:00:04]

Long about nineteen twentynine [00:00:09]

I owned a little farm was a doin' just fine [00:00:11]

Raised a little row crop raised some[00:00:15]

Wheat Sold it over at the county seat [00:00:17]

Drawed the money Raised a family [00:00:20]

But the dust came along [00:00:26]

And the price went down [00:00:27]

Didn't have the money when the bank come around;[00:00:28]

Tumble weeds and the black dust blowed [00:00:32]

So we hit the trail to the land where the waters floed [00:00:33]

Way out across yonder somewhere [00:00:37]

The hot old rocks and the desert[00:00:42]

Sand Made my mind run back to the dust bowl land [00:00:43]

But my hopes was high and we rolled[00:00:46]

Along To the Columbia River up in Washington [00:00:48]

Lots of good rain Little piece of land [00:00:51]

Feller might grow something [00:00:55]

We settled down on some cut[00:00:59]

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

Hot sun burnt up my first crop of wheat[00:01:04]

And the river down the canyon just 500 feet [00:01:06]

Might as we of been 50 miles [00:01:09]

Couldn't get no water [00:01:12]

We loaded our belongings and we lit out for town[00:01:15]

Seen the old vacant houses and farms all around [00:01:17]

And folks a leaving out [00:01:21]

If you're asking me[00:01:22]

That's as lonesome as sight as a feller can see [00:01:23]

Good land Grow anything you plant [00:01:27]

Get the moisture [00:01:31]

I struck a lumber town and heard the big saw sing [00:01:36]

And when business is good why lumber's king;[00:01:38]

I went to lookin' for a job but the man said no [00:01:42]

So we hit the skids on the old skid row [00:01:45]

Traipsing up and down [00:01:47]

Chasing a bite to eat Kids hungry Heard about a job [00:01:50]

So we hit the wheat Made about enough for the kids to eat [00:01:59]

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

Hops peaches and the apples too [00:02:04]

Slept in just about everything except a good warm bed [00:02:07]

Been to Arizona been to California too [00:02:14]

Found the people was plenty but the jobs was few;[00:02:19]

Well maybe it's like the feller said [00:02:23]

When they ain't enough arok well [00:02:25]

Business is dead Sorta ailin' [00:02:27]

Ain't no money a changin' hands [00:02:32]

Just people changing places [00:02:36]

Folks wastin' gasoline a'chasin' around [00:02:40]

Now what we need is a great big dam[00:02:46]

To throw a lot of water out acrost that land [00:02:48]

People could work and the stuff would grow[00:02:52]

And you could wave goodbye to the old[00:02:54]

Skid Row[00:02:56]

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

Take it easy[00:03:09]
