More quotes by Woody Guthrie
Love is the only medicine I believe in.
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
The best way to get to know any bunch of people is to go and listen to their music.
Woody Guthrie
One day we'll all find out that all of our songs was just little notes in a great big song!
Woody Guthrie
You can't write a good song about a whorehouse unless you've been in one.
Woody Guthrie
Left wing, chicken wing, it don't make no difference to me.
Woody Guthrie
All of you cowboys, fight for your land.
Woody Guthrie
I like to write about wherever I happen to be.
Woody Guthrie
All you can write is what you see.
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
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
Take it easy, but take 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
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
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
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
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
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 you walk across my camera I will flash the world your story.
Woody Guthrie
