Woody Guthrie what do you say 
when someone tells you to act this way? 
oh Woody Guthrie what can you do 
when something forces itself on you? 

Woody Guthrie I just can't see 
how I provide for my family 
the mill closed down without much fuss 
and now fingers pointing back at us 

Woody Guthrie won't you take me home 
and hold me back when I begin to roam 
I've seen too much in too few years 
when eyes are closed there can be no tears 

my children still smile at me 
they laugh and they giggle as though they see 
the heart of the man who calls you now 
to make sense of all of this somehow 

Woody Guthrie it's time to move on 
it's been kinda lonely since you've been gone 
that train whisle blows but it's not passing by 
when you boarded that train did you ever cry? 

Woody Guthrie won't you take me home 
and hold me back when I begin to roam 
I've seen too much in too few years 
when eyes are closed there can be no tears 

Woody Guthrie it's time to move on 
it's been kinda lonely since you've been gone 
that train whisle blows but it's not passing by 
when you boarded that train did you ever cry?
