More quotes by Woody Guthrie
I worked in your orchards of peaches and prunes. I slept on the ground in the light of the moon. On the edge of the city you'll see us and then, we come with the dust and we go with the wind.
Woody Guthrie
This land is your land, this land is my land
Woody Guthrie
I love a good man outside the law, just as much as I hate a bad man inside the law.
Woody Guthrie
I hate a song that makes you think that you are not any good. I hate a song that makes you think that you are just born to lose. Bound to lose. No good to nobody. No good for nothing. Because you are too old or too young or too fat or too slim too ugly or too this or too that.
Woody Guthrie
As I went walking That ribbon of highway I saw above me The endless skyway I saw below me The lonesome valley This land was made for you and me.
Woody Guthrie
Take it easy, but take it.
Woody Guthrie
Life has a habit of not staying hitched. You got to ride it like you find it.
Woody Guthrie
Now as I look around, it's mighty plain to see, This world is such a great and a funny place to be. Oh, the gamblin' man is rich, an' the workin' man is poor, And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.
Woody Guthrie
Left wing, chicken wing, it don't make no difference to me.
Woody Guthrie
If you play more than two chords, you're showing off.
Woody Guthrie
You can't write a good song about a whorehouse unless you've been in one.
Woody Guthrie
All about a human being is, it's a great big hoping machine.
Woody Guthrie
The note of hope is the only note that can help us or save us from falling to the bottom of the heap of evolution, because, largely, about all a human being is, anyway, is just a hoping machine.
Woody Guthrie
If you walk across my camera I will flash the world your story.
Woody Guthrie
Left wing. Right wing. Chicken wing.
Woody Guthrie
I like to write about wherever I happen to be.
Woody Guthrie
All of you cowboys, fight for your land.
Woody Guthrie
The words are the important thing. Don't worry about tunes. Take a tune, sing high when they sing low, sing fast when they sing slow, and you've got a new tune.
Woody Guthrie
It's a folk singer's job to comfort disturbed people and to disturb comfortable people
Woody Guthrie
Life's pretty tough . . . you're lucky if you live through it.
Woody Guthrie
