《Washington Talkin’ Blues》歌词

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

[00:00:01] Written by：Guthrie

[00:00:09] Long about nineteen twentynine

[00:00:11] I owned a little farm was a doin' just fine

[00:00:15] Raised a little row crop raised some wheat

[00:00:17] Sold it over at the County seat

[00:00:20] Drawed the money

[00:00:22] Raised a family

[00:00:26] Dust came along

[00:00:27] And the price went down

[00:00:28] Didn't have the money when the bank come around

[00:00:31] Tumble weeds and the black dust blowed

[00:00:33] So we hit the trail to where the waters floed

[00:00:37] Way out across yonder somewhere

[00:00:41] Hot old rocks and the desert sand

[00:00:43] Made my mind run back to the dust bowl land

[00:00:46] Hopes was high and we rolled along

[00:00:48] To the Columbia River up in Washington

[00:00:51] Lots of good rain

[00:00:53] Little piece of land

[00:00:55] Feller might grow something

[00:00:58] We settled down on some cut over land

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

[00:01:03] Hot sun burnt up my first crop of wheat

[00:01:05] And the river down the canyon just 500 feet

[00:01:09] Might as we of been 50 miles

[00:01:12] Couldn't get no water

[00:01:15] We loaded our belongings and we lit out for town

[00:01:16] Seen the old vacant houses and farms all around

[00:01:21] Folks a leaving out

[00:01:22] If you're asking me

[00:01:23] That's as lonesome as sight as a feller can see

[00:01:27] Good land

[00:01:30] Grow anything you plant

[00:01:31] Get the moisture

[00:01:35] I struck a lumber town and heard the big saw sing

[00:01:38] And when business is good why lumber's king

[00:01:42] I went to lookin' for a job but the man said no

[00:01:44] So we hit the skids on the old skid row

[00:01:47] Traipsing up and down

[00:01:50] Chasing a bite to eat

[00:01:53] Kids hungry

[00:01:57] Heard about a job so we hit the wheat

[00:01:59] Made about enough for the kids to eat

[00:02:01] Picked in the berries gathered in the fruit

[00:02:03] Hops peaches and the apples too

[00:02:06] Slept in just about everything

[00:02:08] Except a good warm bed

[00:02:14] Been to Arizona been to California too

[00:02:18] Found the people was plenty but the jobs was few

[00:02:22] Well maybe it's just like the feller said

[00:02:25] When they ain't enough arok well business is dead

[00:02:29] Sorta ailin'

[00:02:32] Ain't no money a changin' hands

[00:02:35] Just people changing places

[00:02:39] Folks wastin gasoline a'chasin' around

[00:02:45] Now what we need is a great big dam

[00:02:47] To throw a lot of water out acrost that land

[00:02:51] People could work and the stuff would grow

[00:02:53] And you could wave goodbye to the old Skid Row

[00:02:57] Can't get job

[00:02:59] Work hard

[00:03:01] Raise all kinds of stuff

[00:03:05] Kids too

[00:03:08] Take it easy
