I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead.
I just need some place where I can lay my head.
Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?
He just grinned and shook my hand, and no was all he said.

Chorus:
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free.
Take a load off Fanny, and (and) (and) you put the load right on me.

I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide,
When I saw Carmen and the devil walkin' side by side.
I said, hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown.
She said, I gotta go, but my friend can stick around.

Chorus

Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say.
It's just ol' Luke, and Luke's waitin' on the judgement day.
Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?
He said, do me a favor, son, won't you stay and keep Anna Lee company?

Chorus

Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.
He said, I will fix your rack, if you'll take Jack, my dog.
I said, wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man.
He said, that's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can.

Chorus

Catch a cannon ball now, take me down the line.
My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe its time,
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one,
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.

Chorus:
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.

As I went walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
I saw below me that golden valley
This land was made for you and me.

I roamed and I rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
While all around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me.

When the sun came shining, and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
A voice was chanting, As the fog was lifting,
This land was made for you and me.

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.

In the squares of the city, In the shadow of a steeple;
By the relief office, I'd seen my people.
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking,
Is this land made for you and me?

Nobody living can ever stop me,
As I go walking that freedom highway;
Nobody living can make me turn back
This land was made for you and me.

—Woody Guthrie

Chorus:
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man,
Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can.
And when it's time for leavin',
I hope you'll understand,
That I was born a ramblin' man.

Verses:
My father was a gambler down in Georgia,
And he wound up on the wrong end of a gun.
And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus
Rollin' down highway forty-one.

I'm on my way to New Orleans this mornin',
Leaving out of Nashville, Tennessee,
They're always having a good time down on the bayou, Lord
Them Delta women think the world of me.

Woke up this morning, put on my slippers,
Walked in the kitchen and died

And oh what a feeling, when my soul went through the ceiling
And on up into heaven I did ride

When I got there they did say, John, it happened this a way,
You slipped upon the floor and hit your head

And all the angels say, just before you passed away,
These were the very last words that you said:

Chorus: | A | E | E | E-B || E | A-E | A-E | B-E |
Please don't bury me down in the cold cold ground

No, I'd druther have 'em cut me up and pass me all around 

Throw my brain in a hurricane and the blind can have my eyes

And the deaf can take both my ears if they don't mind the size

V2 & 3:

Give my stomach to Milwaukee if they run out of beer

Put my socks in a cedar box just get 'em out of here

Venus de Milo can have my arms look out, I've got your nose

Sell my heart to the junkman and give my love to Rose

Chorus

Give my feet to the footloose, careless, fancy free

Give my knees to the needy, don't pull that stuff on me

Hand me down my walking cane it's a sin to tell a lie

Send my mouth way down south and kiss my ass goodbye

Chorus

You and I were lovers all along
We had a good thing going strong
And never doubted,
Lately I feel changes coming on
I know that I will soon be gone
And you don't even want to talk about it

Chorus:
Oooh, and it makes me stop and wonder why. EC
People give their hearts, then turn around and say goodbye
If there's something on your mind
You better say it while there's time,
'Cause I'm leaving when I see that morning sky. E G F E

Ooo, how did we ever come to this,
There's nothing for me in your kisses anymore.
Late night in the kitchen I pretend that I still care,
But we both know there's nothing there,
And you just keep on staring at the door.

Oh yes, here I am again
Right where I know I shouldn't be
I've been caught inside this trap too many times
I must have walked these steps and said these words
A thousand times or more
I feel like I know everybody's lines

Chorus:
You've got a mind of your own
Why don't you use it?
You know your way home or did you lose it?
You knew right where you were going
When you walked up to that door
Anytime you wanna leave
Get up and go

How come I always get in trouble
Just when I'm trying to be so good
By now I really should know right from wrong
It's just that I always seem to find myself
Around this neighborhood
And I always seem to stay here all night long

Well I'll leave in just a minute
And I won't be back no more
Because it's coming here
That's brought me all my sorrow
I'm going out to fill a hole
That you have dug inside my soul
And you'll never see my face again
Until tomorrow

Chorus

It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter, anyhow
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on
Don't think twice, it's all right

It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin' anyway
So don't think twice, it's all right

It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
Like you never did before
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
I can't hear you any more
I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right

I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye's too good a word, gal
So I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right

How many roads must a man walk down, Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail, Before she sleeps in the sand?
How many times must the cannon balls fly, Before they're forever banned?
Refrain: The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, The answer is blowin' in the wind

How many years can a mountain exist, Before it's washed to the sea?
How many years can some people exist, Before they're allowed to be free?
How many times can a man turn his head, And pretend that he just doesn't see?

Refrain

Yes, and how many times must a man look up, Before he can see the sky?
Yes, and how many ears must one man have, Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'till he knows, That too many people have died?

Refrain

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, The answer is blowin' in the wind

I see the bad moon a-rising
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightning
I see bad times today

Chorus:
Don't go around tonight.
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise.

I hear hurricanes a-blowing
I know the end is coming soon
I fear rivers overflowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin

Chorus

Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye

Chorus
