[Verse]
I'm Aout here a thousand Emiles from mAy home
DWalkin' a rAoad other mB7en have gone Adown
I'm seein' your world of Dpeople and Athings
Your paupers and pEeasants and pB7rinces and Akings
[Chorus]
HeAy, hey Woody Guthrie I wErote you a Asong
'Bout a Dfunny ol' wAorld that's a-cB7omin' aAlong
Sick an' it's hungry, it's Dtired and it's Atorn
Looks like it's a Edyin' an' it's B7hardly been Aborn
[Verse]
HAey, Woody Guthrie, but I kEnow that you knAow
All the thDings that I'm a saAyin' an' a-mB7any times mAore
I'm a-singin' this song, but I Dcan't sing Aenough
'Cause there's  not Emany men that done tB7hings you doAne
[Chorus]
Here's to CAisco an' Sonny an' LEead belly tAoo
An' to aDll the good pAeople that trB7aveled with yAou
Here's to the hearts and the haDnds of the mAen
That come with the dEust and are gB7one with the wAind
[Verse]
I'm a-leavin' tomorrow, but I cEould leave tAoday
SoDmewhere doAwn the road B7somedayA  
The very last thing that I'd wEant to dAo
Is to say IE've been hittin' some hB7ard travelin' tAoo

I'm out here a thousand miles from my home

Hey, hey Woody Guthrie I wrote you a song

'Cause there's not many men that done things you done

I'm a-leavin' tomorrow, but I could leave today

Somewhere down the road someday

The very last thing that I'd want to do
