《Washington Talkin’ Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] Washington Talkin' Blues - Woody Guthrie

[00:00:10] Long about nineteen twentynine

[00:00:12] I owned a little farm was a doin' just fine

[00:00:16] Raised a little row crop raised some

[00:00:18] Wheat Sold it over at the county seat

[00:00:21] Drawed the money Raised a family

[00:00:27] But the dust came along

[00:00:28] And the price went down

[00:00:29] Didn't have the money when the bank come around;

[00:00:32] Tumble weeds and the black dust blowed

[00:00:34] So we hit the trail to the land where the waters floed

[00:00:38] Way out across yonder somewhere

[00:00:42] The hot old rocks and the desert

[00:00:44] Sand Made my mind run back to the dust bowl land

[00:00:47] But my hopes was high and we rolled

[00:00:49] Along To the Columbia River up in Washington

[00:00:52] Lots of good rain Little piece of land

[00:00:56] Feller might grow something

[00:01:00] We settled down on some cut

[00:01:01] Over land Pulled up brush and the stumps by hand

[00:01:05] Hot sun burnt up my first crop of wheat

[00:01:07] And the river down the canyon just 500 feet

[00:01:10] Might as we of been 50 miles

[00:01:13] Couldn't get no water

[00:01:16] We loaded our belongings and we lit out for town

[00:01:18] Seen the old vacant houses and farms all around

[00:01:22] And folks a leaving out

[00:01:23] If you're asking me

[00:01:24] That's as lonesome as sight as a feller can see

[00:01:28] Good land Grow anything you plant

[00:01:32] Get the moisture

[00:01:37] I struck a lumber town and heard the big saw sing

[00:01:39] And when business is good why lumber's king;

[00:01:43] I went to lookin' for a job but the man said no

[00:01:46] So we hit the skids on the old skid row

[00:01:48] Traipsing up and down

[00:01:51] Chasing a bite to eat Kids hungry Heard about a job

[00:01:59] So we hit the wheat Made about enough for the kids to eat

[00:02:03] Picked in the berries gathered in the fruit

[00:02:04] Hops peaches and the apples too

[00:02:08] Slept in just about everything except a good warm bed

[00:02:15] Been to Arizona been to California too

[00:02:20] Found the people was plenty but the jobs was few;

[00:02:24] Well maybe it's like the feller said

[00:02:26] When they ain't enough arok well

[00:02:28] Business is dead Sorta ailin'

[00:02:33] Ain't no money a changin' hands

[00:02:37] Just people changing places

[00:02:41] Folks wastin gasoline a'chasin' around

[00:02:47] Now what we need is a great big dam

[00:02:49] To throw a lot of water out acrost that land

[00:02:52] People could work and the stuff would grow

[00:02:55] And you could wave goodbye to the old

[00:02:56] Skid Row

[00:03:01] Work hard raise all kinds of stuff kids too

[00:03:10] Take it easy
