More quotes by 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
Love is the only medicine I believe in.
Woody Guthrie
Okemah was one of the singingest, square dancingest, drinkingest, yellingest, preachingest, walkingest, talkingest, laughingest, cryingest, shootingest, fist fightingest, bleedingest, gamblingest, gun, club and razor carryingest of our ranch towns and farm towns, because it blossomed out into one of our first Oil Boom Towns.
Woody Guthrie
Now as through this world I ramble, I see lots of funny men, Some rob you with a six gun, And some with a fountain pen.
Woody Guthrie
A song ain't nothing but a conversation fixed up to where you can talk it over and over without getting tired of it.
Woody Guthrie
If you walk across my camera I will flash the world your story.
Woody Guthrie
I like to write about wherever I happen to be.
Woody Guthrie
All of you cowboys, fight for your land.
Woody Guthrie
It's round the world I've traveled it's round the world I've roamed but I've yet to see an outlaw drive a family from its home
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
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
If we fix it so's you can't make money on war, we'll all forget what we're killing folks for.
Woody Guthrie
Left wing. Right wing. Chicken wing.
Woody Guthrie
As I went walking I saw a sign there And on the sign it said No Trespassing. But on the other side it didn't say nothing, That side was made for you and me. This land is your land, this land is my land From California to the New York island From the Redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and me.
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
Life has got a habit of not standing hitched. You got to ride it like you find it. You got to change with it. If a day goes by that don't change some of your old notions for new ones, that is just about like trying to milk a dead cow.
Woody Guthrie
All about a human being is, it's a great big hoping machine.
Woody Guthrie
Life's pretty tough . . . you're lucky if you live through it.
Woody Guthrie
Take it easy, but take it.
Woody Guthrie
