More quotes by Woody Guthrie
If you want to learn something, just steal it.
Woody Guthrie
A folk song is what's wrong and how to fix it or it could be who's hungry and where their mouth is or who's out of work and where the job is or who's broke and where the money is or who's carrying a gun and where the peace is.
Woody Guthrie
Some men rob you with a six-gun -- others rob you with a fountain pen.
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
Anyone who used more than three chords is just showing off.
Woody Guthrie
This land is made for you and me.
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 better quit my talking 'cause I told you all I know But please remember, pardner, wherever you may go The people are building a peaceful world, and when the job is done, That'll be the biggest thing that man has ever done.
Woody Guthrie
All of you cowboys, fight for your land.
Woody Guthrie

Woody Guthrie
Was a great high wall there that tried to stop me. Was a great big sign there said private Property but on the back side it didn't say nothing. That side was made for you and 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
Left wing. Right wing. Chicken wing.
Woody Guthrie
It's a folk singer's job to comfort disturbed people and to disturb comfortable people
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
I have decided long ago that my songs and ballads would not get the hugs and kisses of the capitalistic experts.
Woody Guthrie
Nobody living can ever stop me. As I go walking my freedom highway. Nobody living can make me turn back. This land was made for you and me.
Woody Guthrie
Take it easy, but take it.
Woody Guthrie
There's several ways of saying what's on your mind. And in states and counties where it ain't too healthy to talk too loud, speak your mind, or even vote like you want to, folks have found other ways of getting the word around. One of the mainest ways is by singing.
Woody Guthrie
