Mean Talking Blues - Woody Guthrie/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 and a poison face[00:00:13]
And I stand flat footed in[00:00:16]
Favor of crime and disgrace[00:00:17]
I ever done a good deed[00:00:21]
I'm sorry of it[00:00:22]
I'm mean in the East[00:00:27]
Mean in the West[00:00:28]
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 and I 'cause train wrecks[00:00:33]
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 to suit myself[00:00:49]
Just mean[00:00:53]
I ride around on the subway trains[00:00:57]
Laughin' at the tight shoes[00:00:59]
Dealin' you pain[00:01:00]
And I laugh when the car shakes[00:01:03]
From side to side[00:01:04]
I laugh my loudest[00:01:06]
When other people cry[00:01:07]
Can't help it[00:01:09]
I was born good[00:01:11]
I guess[00:01:12]
Just like you or anybody else[00:01:13]
But then I[00:01:15]
Just turned off mean[00:01:16]
I hate ev'rybody[00:01:20]
Don't think like me[00:01:21]
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'[00:01:28]
All the books I can[00:01:29]
To learn how to hurt[00:01:30]
Daily Misery[00:01:33]
Spread diseases[00:01:36]
Keep you without no vote[00:01:38]
Keep you without no union[00:01:40]
Well I hurt when[00:01:43]
I see you gettin' 'long so well[00:01:44]
I'd ten times rather see you[00:01:46]
In the fires of hell[00:01:47]
I can't stand to fixed[00:01:49]
See you there all fixed up[00:01:51]
In that house so nice[00:01:52]
I'd rather keep you in that rotten hole[00:01:54]
With the bugs and the lice[00:01:56]
And the roaches[00:01:59]
And the termites[00:02:00]
And the sand fleas[00:02:02]
And the tater bugs[00:02:03]
And the grub worms[00:02:04]
And the stingarees[00:02:05]
And the tarantulas[00:02:06]
And the spiders[00:02:07]
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'[00:02:15]
Me do the best parts of my meanness[00:02:16]
And mosquiters[00:02:19]
Well[00:02:22]
I used to be a pretty fair organized feller[00:02:23]
Till I turned a scab and[00:02:25]
Then 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[00:02:48]
If I can get the fat to[00:02:49]
Hatin' the lean[00:02:50]
That'd tickle me more than[00:02:51]
Anything I've seen[00:02:52]
Then get the colors to fightin' one another[00:02:54]
And friend against friend[00:02:56]
And brother[00:02:58]
And sister against brother[00:02:58]
That'll be just it[00:03:00]
Everybody's brains a boilin'[00:03:02]
In turpentine[00:03:04]
And their teeth fallin' out[00:03:05]
All up and down the streets[00:03:06]
That'll just suit me fine[00:03:08]
'Cause I hate ever'thing[00:03:11]
That's union[00:03:12]
And I hate ever'thing[00:03:13]
That's organized[00:03:14]
And I hate ever'thing[00:03:15]
That's planned[00:03:16]
And I love to hate[00:03:17]
And I hate to love[00:03:18]
I'm mean[00:03:20]
I'm just mean[00:03:23]
