Song To Woody lyrics

I m out here a thousand miles from my home
Walking a road other men have gone down
I m seeing a new world of people and things
Hear paupers and peasants and princes and kings.

Hey hey Woody Guthrie I wrote you a song
About a funny old world that s coming along
Seems sick and it s hungry, it s tired and it s torn
It looks like it s dying and it s hardly been born.

Hey Woody Guthrie but I know that you know
All the things that I m saying and a many times more
I m singing you the song but I can t you sing enough
Cause there s not many men that ve done the things that you ve done.

Here s to Cisco and Sonny and Leadbelly too
And to all the good people that travelled 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 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 hitting some hard travelling too.
