Woody Guthrie Songbook, 1946

　　I'm just a lonesome traveler the great historical bum I'm highly educated from history I have come I built the rock of ages that was the year of one And that was about the biggest thing that man has ever done. Woody Well I better quit my talking 'cause I told you all I know But please remember pardner wherever you may go The world is digging slavery's grave and when the job is done This'll be the biggest thing that man has ever done. ____ This world is your world, take it easy, but take it.
