Uncle Sam took up the challenge in the year of '33 For the farmer and the factory and all of you and me. He said, Roll along Columbia. You can ramble to the sea, But river while you're ramblin' you can do some work for me.

Any fool can make something complicated. It takes a genius to make it simple.
Woody Guthrie
All you can write is what you see.
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
Life has a habit of not staying hitched. You got to ride it like you find it.
Woody Guthrie
Anyone who used more than three chords is just showing off.
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
All of you cowboys, fight for your land.
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
One day we'll all find out that all of our songs was just little notes in a great big song!
Woody Guthrie
If you play more than two chords, you're showing off.
Woody Guthrie
The world is filled with people who are no longer needed -- and who try to make slaves of all of us -- and they have their music and we have ours.
Woody Guthrie
I got started in Oklahoma. That's where I was born. Population down there is one-third Indians, one-third Negroes and one-third white people.
Woody Guthrie
My eyes has been my camera taking pictures of the world and my songs has been my messages that I tried to scatter across the back sides and along the steps of the fire escapes and on the window sills and through the dark halls.
Woody Guthrie
All about a human being is, it's a great big hoping machine.
Woody Guthrie
I love a good man outside the law, just as much as I hate a bad man inside the law.
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
I like to write about wherever I happen to be.
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
Let me be known as just the man that told you something you already knew.
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
