Song to Woody

Song to Woody -
words Bob Dylan,
music based on "1913 Massacre" by Woody Guthrie -
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.

What a great version. Here's to Woody and Bob - two geniuses!

There's no way this could be better. There's Bob and then there's everyone else.

So true! There will never be another Dylan.

[@Sleshovsky]

The best version ever, that Bob has preformed of this song! Have been a fan of Dylan since I was old enough to remember! he is truly the poet of folk.
