Boy From Oklahoma
Ton : CCapo 5English
TCravelling across the cGountry
Playing on the circuit lCine
Sometimes I think abAmout a man
Who was hD7ere before my tG7ime
NFamed for the 28th pCresident
With a GFuthrie tacked to the eGnd
Born in OCkemah sGhoes
With the DBbust Bowl bFlues
He's a fGriend of the working mCan
Now he wasn't fond of NGew York buildings
That tried to touch the sCky
Or the West Virginia cAmoal mines
That tD7ook so many lG7ives
For the wFay they drove the migrant wCorkers
Back iFnto Mexico wGay
The sCcabs they'd rGun
When they'd hBbeard he'd cFome
And the bGosses started to pCray
Just a bFoy from OklahGoma
On an eCndless one-night sAmtand
WFandering and a-rGambling
DCrifting with the midnight sAmand
SFinging the blues and bGallads
And wChatever came betFween
Well his hDmeart was in the Union
But his sBboul was reaching oGut for the servant's dCream F G C
Now I was talking to a mGan
M et him in a bar near Clovis tCown
He said the whole place was sAmhaking
As they were pD7assing his songs arG7ound
And tFhen somebody aCsked him
Where he'd bFe when tomorrow cGame
He just sCaid with a gGrin
"I put my tBbhumb in the wFind
And I'm oGff down the road agCain"
Just a bFoy from OklahGoma
On an eCndless one-night sAmtand
WFandering and a-rGambling
DCrifting with the midnight sAmand
SFinging the blues and bGallads
And wChatever came betFween
His hDmeart was in the Union
But his sBboul was reaching oGut for the servant's dCream F G C
Now you know Woody GGuthrie
Is dead and buried in the gCround
Sometimes I sing his sAmongs
I get to tD7hinking that he's still arG7ound
'Cause his fFire is everlCasting
His cFourse was run tGrue
That old rCambling man's rGisen
And the kBbingdom is hFis
But his sGongs are for me and yCou
Just a bFoy from OklahGoma
On an eCndless one-night sAmtand
WFandering and a-rGambling
DCrifting with the midnight sAmand
PFlaying the blues and bGallads
And wChatever he came betFween
His hDmeart was in the Union
His sBboul was reaching oGut for the servant's dCream
