Song To Woody

I'm out here, a thousand miles from my home
I'm walkin' a road other men have gone down
I'm seein' your world of people and things
Your paupers and peasants and princes and kings

Hey, hey, Woody Guthrie, I wrote you a song
About a funny ol' world that's a-comin' along
Seems sick an' it's hungry, it's tired an' it's torn
It looks like it's a-dyin' an' it's hardly been born

Hey, hey, Woody Guthrie, but I know that you know
All the things that I'm sayin' an' a-many times more
I'm a-singin' you this song, but I can't sing enough
'Cause there's not many men that done the things that you've done

Here's to Cisco and to Sonny and Leadbelly too
An' to all those good people that traveled with you
Here's to the hearts and the hands of the men
That come with the dust and are gone with the wind
