Verse 1
let's have an authentic folk welcome
for the rambling Woodpile Guthrie!
I've been hanging around
the mailbox,
waiting for a telegram
An invitation from the producer
man
to make a record doing what I do best
I told him I was just a farm boy,
I'm sure gonna make it big, yeah
I'm just making it up,
I'm just making it up as I go along
I've been working on the railroad
with a white man's chain
around my neck,
had to pull a cart and wash the deck,
and I told my daddy, heck,
ain't gonna put a rope around me.
Then he handed me a whiskey bottle
and my mama drank down near ten,
she died in my arms right there
and then.
But hey, I'm just making it up,
that's right,
I'm just making it up as I go along.
I got myself a cowboy hat
I didn't shave and that was that
mean woman
I'm talking to you about that
my boots are high
my feet are flat
my horse is cruel
hey kibbity clop whoa there tomtoe
my mama was a chicken farm
my daddy a chicken shack
and they oppressed me
suppressed me repressed me and it's all
depressed me so much
because it broke my back and snapped
It me down and stitched me up
And I thought I'd believe in God for a bit
I got my guitar and now I'm a hit
But I'm still just makin' it up
That's right, I'm just makin' it up
As I go along, darlin'
It's all so true
Don't it worry me
My granddaddy was a liquor store
Spittin' a pancho, makin' a man
Now he's a man who knows
he can
Do anything to make me hang
Cause I shot the sheriff, took me away
Played the guitar in the jailhouse,
chain gang
Railroad, telegram,
white man, frying pan
Cooked me a nigger, been burger man
I used to be a black boy and I still am
In the can, out of the pan
Into the fire and here I stand
Head in hand,
making rhyme like a country old man
A mojo baby, a cowboy killer
Mean lovin', fat shovin',
whale of a nigger
White man scrubbin',
horse shit shovelin'
Totally mean,
clean and hay free wheelin'
Mediterranean, seasick, horse sick
Cow shit, modern blues, yeah
I'll tell you something, boy
Ti è piaciuto il brano?
