《Washington Talkin’ Blues》歌词

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

[00:00:05] Written by：Guthrie

[00:00:11] Long about nineteen twentynine

[00:00:13] I owned a little farm was a doin' just fine

[00:00:17] Raised a little row crop raised some

[00:00:20] Wheat Sold it over at the county seat

[00:00:22] Drawed the money Raised a family

[00:00:28] But the dust came along

[00:00:29] And the price went down

[00:00:30] Didn't have the money when the bank come around;

[00:00:34] Tumble weeds and the black dust blowed

[00:00:36] So we hit the trail to the land where the waters floed

[00:00:39] Way out across yonder somewhere

[00:00:44] The hot old rocks and the desert

[00:00:45] Sand Made my mind run back to the dust bowl land

[00:00:49] But my hopes was high and we rolled

[00:00:50] Along To the Columbia River up in Washington

[00:00:54] Lots of good rain Little piece of land

[00:00:57] Feller might grow something

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

[00:01:02] Over land Pulled up brush and the stumps by hand

[00:01:06] Hot sun burnt up my first crop of wheat

[00:01:08] And the river down the canyon just 500 feet

[00:01:11] Might as we of been 50 miles

[00:01:14] Couldn't get no water

[00:01:17] We loaded our belongings and we lit out for town

[00:01:19] Seen the old vacant houses and farms all around

[00:01:23] And folks a leaving out

[00:01:25] If you're asking me

[00:01:25] That's as lonesome as sight as a feller can see

[00:01:30] Good land Grow anything you plant

[00:01:34] Get the moisture

[00:01:38] I struck a lumber town and heard the big saw sing

[00:01:41] And when business is good why lumber's king;

[00:01:45] I went to lookin' for a job but the man said no

[00:01:47] So we hit the skids on the old skid row

[00:01:49] Traipsing up and down

[00:01:52] Chasing a bite to eat Kids hungry Heard about a job

[00:02:01] So we hit the wheat Made about enough for the kids to eat

[00:02:04] Picked in the berries gathered in the fruit

[00:02:06] Hops peaches and the apples too

[00:02:09] Slept in just about everything except a good warm bed

[00:02:16] Been to Arizona been to California too

[00:02:21] Found the people was plenty but the jobs was few;

[00:02:25] Well maybe it's like the feller said

[00:02:28] When they ain't enough arok well

[00:02:29] Business is dead Sorta ailin'

[00:02:35] Ain't no money a changin' hands

[00:02:38] Just people changing places

[00:02:42] Folks wastin' gasoline a'chasin' around

[00:02:48] Now what we need is a great big dam

[00:02:50] To throw a lot of water out acrost that land

[00:02:54] People could work and the stuff would grow

[00:02:56] And you could wave goodbye to the old

[00:02:58] Skid Row

[00:03:02] Work hard raise all kinds of stuff kids too

[00:03:11] Take it easy
