Woody Guthrie

Woody Guthrie
Some men rob you with a six-gun -- others rob you with a fountain pen.
Woody Guthrie
If you play more than two chords, you're showing off.
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
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
I have decided long ago that my songs and ballads would not get the hugs and kisses of the capitalistic experts.
Woody Guthrie
Love is the only medicine I believe in.
Woody Guthrie
I ain't a communist necessarily, but I been in the red all my life.
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
Life's pretty tough . . . you're lucky if you live through it.
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
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
