Mary wore three links of chain, Ev'ry link was Jesus name, Keep-a your hand on that plow, hold on, Oh, Lord, Oh, Lord, Keep-a your hand on that plow, hold on. Mary, Mark and Luke and John, All these prophets so good and gone, Keep-a your hand on that plow, hold on, Oh, Lord, Oh, Lord, Keep-a your hand on that plow, hold on. I never been to heaven, but I've been told, Streets up there are line with gold, Keep-a your hand on that plow, hold on, Oh, Lord, Oh, Lord, Keep-a your hand on that plow, hold on. Dig my grave with a bloody spade, See that my digger gets well paid, Keep-a your hand on that plow, hold on, Oh, Lord, Oh, Lord, Keep-a your hand on that plow, hold on. That gospel line gets mighty hot, But just hang on with all you got, Keep-a your hand on that plow, hold on, Oh, Lord, Oh, Lord, Keep-a your hand on that plow, hold on. When I get to the glory land, Gonna play in the glory land, Keep-a your hand on that plow, hold on, Oh, Lord, Oh, Lord, Keep-a your hand on that plow, hold on. |

I was born in dixie in a boomer's shack,
Just a little shanty by the railroad track Freight train was comin' I had to cry, Hummin all the drivers with my lullaby I've got the freight train blues (hee, hee, hoo) Oh, lawdy mama got 'em on the bottom of my ramblin' shoes And when the whistle blows, I gotta go Baby don't you know It looks like I'm never gonna lose The freight train blues. Well, my daddy was a fireman in a house out here She was the only daughter of the engineer Sweetheart of the brakeman, that ain't no joke It's a shame the way she keeps a good man broke. I got the freight train blues (hee, hee, hoo) Oh, lawdy I got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes And when the whistle blows, I gotta go Oh mama don't you know It looks like I'm never gonna lose The freight train blues. Well, the only thing that makes you laugh again Is a south bound whistle on a south bound train Ev'ry place I want to go I never go because you know Because I got the freight train blues (hee, hee, hoo) Oh, lawdy mama, got 'em on the bottom of my ramblin' shoes |

I'll sing you a song, ain't very long,
out an old man who never done wrong. How he died nobody can say, They found him dead in the street one day. Well, the crowd, they gathered one fine morn At the man whose clothes'n'shoes were torn There on the sidewalk he did lay, They stopped 'n' stared 'n' walked their way. Well, the p'liceman come and he looked around, "Get up, old man, or I'm a-takin' you down." He jabbed him once with his billy club And the old man then rolled off the curb. Well, he jabbed him again and loudly said, "Call the wagon; this man is dead." The wagon come, they loaded him in, I never saw the man again. I've sung you my song, it ain't very long, out an old man who never done wrong. How he died no one can say, They found him dead in the street one day. |

I'm out here a thousand miles from my home,
Walkin' a road other men have gone down. I'm seein' your world of people and things, Your paupers and peasants and princes and kings. Hey, hey Woody Guthrie, I wrote you a song 'Bout a funny ol' world that's a-comin' along. Seems sick an' it's hungry, it's tired an' it's torn, It looks like it's a-dyin' an' it's hardly been born. Hey, Woody Guthrie, but I know that you know All the things that I'm a-sayin' an' a-many times more. I'm a-singin' you the song, but I can't sing enough, 'Cause there's not many men that done the things that you've done. Here's to Cisco an' Sonny an' Leadbelly too, An' to all the good people that traveled with you. Here's to the hearts and the hands of the men That come with the dust and are gone with the wind. I'm a-leaving' tomorrow, but I could leave today, Somewhere down the road someday. The very last thing that I'd want to do Is to say I've been hittin' some hard travelin' too. |

Ramblin' outa the wild West,
Leavin' the towns I love the best. Thought I'd seen some ups and down, "Til I come into New York town. People goin' down to the ground, Buildings goin' up to the sky. Wintertime in New York town, The wind blowin' snow around. Walk around with nowhere to go, Somebody could freeze right to the bone. I froze right to the bone. New York Times said it was the coldest winter in seventeen years; I didn't feel so cold then. I swung on to my old guitar, Grabbed hold of a subway car, And after a rocking, reeling, rolling ride, I landed up on the downtown side; Greenwich Village. I walked down there and ended up In one of them coffee-houses on the block. Got on the stage to sing and play, Man there said, "Come back some other day, You sound like a hillbilly; We want folk singer here." Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play, Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day. I blowed inside out and upside down. The man there said he loved m' sound, He was ravin' about how he loved m' sound; Dollar a day's worth. And after weeks and weeks of hangin' around, I finally got a job in New York town, In a bigger place, bigger money too, Even joined the union and paid m' dues. Now, a very great man once said That some people rob you with a fountain pen. It didn't take too long to find out Just what he was talkin' about. A lot of people don't have much food on their table, But they got a lot of forks n' knives, And they gotta cut somethin'. So one mornin' when the sun was warm, I rambled out of New York town. Pulled my cap down over my eyes And headed out for the western skies. So long, New York. Howdy, East Orange. |
