Talking Sailor Blues - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]
Written by:Guthrie[00:00:02]
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[00:00:14]
And allies droppin' them two ton bombs[00:00:17]
Started hollerin'[00:00:21]
Yellin'[00:00:23]
Dancin' up and down like a bullfrog[00:00:25]
Doorbell rung and in come a man[00:00:34]
I signed my name I got a telegram[00:00:35]
Said if you wanna take a vacation trip[00:00:39]
Got a dish washin' job on a liberty ship[00:00:42]
Woman a cryin'[00:00:46]
Me a flyin'[00:00:50]
Out the door and down the line[00:00:52]
'Bout two minutes I run ten blocks[00:00:57]
I come to my ship down at the dock[00:00:58]
Walked up the plank and I signed my name[00:01:01]
Blowed that whistle was gone again[00:01:04]
Right on out and down the stream[00:01:10]
Ships as fur as my eye could see[00:01:15]
Woman a waitin'[00:01:21]
Ship loaded down with tnt[00:01:24]
All out across the rollin' sea[00:01:26]
Stood on the deck[00:01:30]
Watched the fishes swim[00:01:31]
I'se a prayin' them fish wasn't made out of tin[00:01:33]
Sharks[00:01:38]
Porpoises[00:01:40]
Jellybeans[00:01:42]
Rainbow trouts[00:01:44]
Mudcats[00:01:46]
Jugars[00:01:48]
All over that water[00:01:51]
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 bells[00:02:00]
Gonna blow them fascists all to hell[00:02:03]
Win some freedom[00:02:08]
Liberty[00:02:11]
Stuff like that[00:02:13]
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[00:02:26]
Gained sixteen feet every time it went around[00:02:30]
Gettin' closer and closer[00:02:34]
Look out you fascists[00:02:36]
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 here on the waters[00:02:53]
To win some freedom[00:02:57]
On the land[00:02:59]
