More quotes by Woody Guthrie
I ain't a communist necessarily, but I been in the red all my life.
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
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
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
This land is your land, this land is my land
Woody Guthrie
It's a folk singer's job to comfort disturbed people and to disturb comfortable people
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
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
Any fool can make something complicated. It takes a genius to make it simple.
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
If you play more than two chords, you're showing off.
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
Let me be known as just the man that told you something you already knew.
Woody Guthrie
If you walk across my camera I will flash the world your story.
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
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
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
I have decided long ago that my songs and ballads would not get the hugs and kisses of the capitalistic experts.
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
