END OF THE LINE (Testo e musica di Woody Guthrie) Back in nineteen thirty-three, Livin' in the dust was a-killing me. Back in nineteen thirty-four, That dusty road, it blew some more. 'Long come nineteen thirty-five, Blowed my crops about nine miles high. 'Long about nineteen thirty-six, Me and my woman in the devil of a fix. Me and my woman in the devil of a fix. Me and my woman in the devil of a fix. 'Long about nineteen thirty-nine We fanned our tails to the Oregon line. We fanned our tails to the Oregon line. We fanned our tails to the Oregon line. We got a-hold of a piece of land, Fifteen miles from the Coulee Dam. Fifteen miles from the Coulee Dam. Fifteen miles from the Coulee Dam. Now the Coulee Dam is a sight to see, Makes this e-lec-a-tric-i-tee. Makes this e-lec-a-tric-i-tee. Makes this e-lec-a-tric-i-tee. Well Oregon state is mighty fine, If you're hooked on to the power line. But there just ain't no country extra fine, If you're just a mile from the end o' the line. Now I'll milk my cows and turn my stone, TilI them Big Grand Coulee comes along. My eyes are crossed, my back's in a cramp, Tryin' to read my Bible by my coal-oil lamp. Tryin' to read my Bible by my coal-oil lamp. Tryin' to read my Bible by my coal-oil lamp. I guess I'll come to the end o' the line I guess I'll come to the end o' the line I guess I'll come to the end o' the line I guess I'll come to the end o' the line Ain't no country extra fine, If you ain't a mile from the end o' the line. Ain't no country extra fine, If you ain't on to the power line. I guess I'll come to the end o' the line I guess I'll come to the end o' the line I guess I'll come to the end o' the line I guess I'll come to the end o' the line Woody Guthrie > canzoni > This Land Is Your Land - The Asch Recordings Vol 1 |
