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

More quotes by 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
Any fool can make something complicated. It takes a genius to make it simple.
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
Left wing. Right wing. Chicken wing.
Woody Guthrie
This land is 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
If you want to learn something, just steal it.
Woody Guthrie
Left wing, chicken wing, it don't make no difference to me.
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
Some men rob you with a six-gun -- others rob you with a fountain pen.
Woody Guthrie
All about a human being is, it's a great big hoping machine.
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
One day we'll all find out that all of our songs was just little notes in a great big song!
Woody Guthrie
Take it easy, but take it.
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
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
I love a good man outside the law, just as much as I hate a bad man inside the law.
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
