[TheGODOFDEBAUCHERY]

woody would have not acknowledged lady gaga--they wouldn't share the same air space~GOD~OF~DEBAUCHERY~()_(^&­*()___

[in2weeed]

annnnnd the police make it hard where'evr i may go .....rich man took my home and.......

[ChloeHawes01]

songs like this are timeless, no matter what century, you can relate to it. :)

[587millertime]

rich man took my home and drove me from my door

[Michajeru]

He was one of the greatest Americans. Love from Israel.

[littleblindberme]

this song is terrible actual and things ain´t improving, the gamblers are getting better.

[240soundwave]

i thought POElice was black lingo until now

[OldSkoolThrasher666]

great song....its crazy to think america is basically back where we started in 1929 except for internet and cable....and todays cars suck compared to the sweet classics of the good ol days

[MauriceCBrown3rd]

What really blew me away is when I searched his name and found the "live wire" recording put to cd and pictoral book, one of my favorite treasures, get you one, you will not freak out till a while after getting into it; promise

[arkeljankushova]

2:32 favorite part

[Knyght373]

"Oh, the gambling man is rich, and the working man is poor" - I see the world hasn't changed much in the last 70 years, that line could be written today as a direct reference to the banking crisis :/

[noprofitmaximierung]

@Knyght373 And to this system where the worker does not control what he makes, but is controlled by the boss! Change that organisation, and you are called a "COmmunist"

[fuckalluhoes91]

how dare u advertise cars over woody guthrie u cunts

[mobster14914101]

inspired many including the all time bob dylan the two are fantastic musicians

[MrBluesrules]

OCCUPY the damn banks that stole the American Dream from so many American Workin people.

[wistoncap]

Its a little depressing that there are so many thumbs up for tearing somebody else down, you dont raise Woody any higher by tearing down this Lady Gaga fella. Im not all that familiar with Lady Gaga... saw about 10 mins of the thing she had on HBO found it boring and moved on.. these folks should probably do the same, rather than try to attach all that they see wrong with modern (commercial) music to her packaged, plastic puss.

[Jonesman08]

History is looking to be more and more cyclical.

[jessegguitar]

@Jonesman08 yea and now its square

[xhiko1314]

Actually writing a research paper of Woody Guthrie's music and it's affects in the Great Depression. ^_^ Thank you for making it easy to find his music (without having to buy it on a broke college student's budget....)

[mydaughterisatard]

Woody is my spiritual advisor

[spyroninja]

it moves me so much that I relate to what he's singing about, apart from just loving the music

[spyroninja]

why are you idiots talking about lady gaga? I don't think woody guthrie had a problem with pop music. this IS pop music. it's folk music. like louis armstrong said, all music is folk music; i ain't never heard a horse sing no song. this song is about a lot more than musical pretentiousness so why don't you shut up and keep it relevant.

[martyfan11]

You could do this song on 2 harmonicas, cause the G 'monica can be a D if played on the in breath, and I'll put in that 2 people need to tune their ears.

[hiroyasu4]

I used to play this song on the guitar. However, I forgot the title. The title is the”

I ain't got no home in this world anymore", isn't it? I feel nostalgia with this song. I often sang this song after having done hard work when I went on a business trip by work. My song, however, is arranged in a bluegrass style. I did not know that this original song is Woody Guthrie's.

[Jeffreypearson252]

billy bragg said this song could have been writen 3 years ago and still be relevant. 2011 and more of the same.hail to woody! original punk rocker!

[TheMetalWarrior]

I truly hate the whole "Number of dislikes" crap comments, But I must say... 0 dislikes... the Youtube community is finally coming to its senses.

[thefreetimedude]

i saw a crusty homeless guy in Washington sqaure play this on the banjo in the begning of the summer, it was amazing

[lisa6160]

@thefreetimedude Woulda loved to have seen that. . . pure genius. . .

[SJFLuteGuy]

Absolutely love this song....  I myself am a homeless street musician.... it's amazing how timeless most of Woody's tunes are.

[AntoMc95]

@SJFLuteGuy If your homeless how are you on youtube?

[SJFLuteGuy]

@AntoMc95 Easy..... libraries have computers (here in San Jose a rather extensive one), and borrow a laptop now and then, hit a motel room once a week, and presto.... youtube submissions.... actually rather simple to figure out

[94rustybear]

@AntoMc95 this is the 21st century, you don't have to have a home to access a computer

[Caaakelin]

What a beautiful poet.

[wistoncap]

I love how upbeat this song is in the melody, everyone who does a cover of it does it like a dirge, Woody sings it like it could be called "I just won the lottery".

[9lontoonieful1]

Woody Guthrie didn't get the attention he deserved.

[ElectricGuitarManPL]

I just felt the 40s

[invasionize]

Long live the worldwide Proletarian revolution

[queasyeasy]

@invasionize enough with the terms. Are we proles, plebes or just slaves?

[MrOdsplut]

who else is here because of bob dylan?

[GrigoriZhukov]

@MrOdsplut who? I'm hear 'cause of his boy...

[BeccaThePorcupine]

Just heard this in a documentary i watched in history class today.. Fell in love with the song right away~

[AMuseTodor]

The band Musee Mecanique did a cover of this song and it's beautiful.

[mrgrtbfrd]

@saidideath Huac blacklisted them-no work, no publication, no freedom of speech. Ruined a lot of careers. Look it up.

[tellemstevedave37]

my favourite bands/artists-in no particular order;

1.The Pogues

2.Woody Guthrie

3.The Dubliners

4.Bob Dylan

5.Billy Bragg

[MrCycloneBrian]

@tellemstevedave37 that is one hell of a fave artists list

[WoodstockCollection]

I'm so proud to be a young kid whose discovered his music,

such songs of wisdom.

[antiwar94]

Wow! This guy is so good. Too bad my parents didn't love Woody Guthrie's music. Cause I could have discovered 16 years ago. XD

So glad I started listening to this music about 2 weeks ago.

And alot of his lyrics are relatable, others are just really good.

[tasedlak]

@antiwar94

Billy Bragg called him "the greatest American poet, right up there with Whitman."

[keaton1895]

@tasedlak Whitman is over rated.

[boxcarro]

@antiwar94 WOODY LIVED WHAT WROTE ABOUT, He rode freight trains, farmed, tramped, was dirty, smelled bad, beat his wives, slept in hobo jungles, died in a Mental State Hospital, and I GREW UP not far from His Home.

I Deliberated then MADE A DECISION in 1988, I would Live the LIFE. Now, my MUSIC is Authentic. I have TRUTH IN MY MUSIC not learned in the Berklee School of Music in Boston, MA, where I weren't learned

[robbin505]

@antiwar94 Check out Riot Folk and Ryan Harvey for a modern day equivalent.

[peterdlowe]

This rocks and thats that guys but my name is not Pete Low! i studied this guy at Music College and he rules and is just a relevant now as he was then!

[LearnMeHowToFly]

Dylan was a big Woody Guthrie - fan.

I'm a Guthrie ánd Dylan fan :)

thanks to dylan, of course. If I wouldn't knew Dylan I wouldn't knew Guthrie (I'm just being honest :P)

[MrPontiusPilate]

@LearnMeHowToFly

No one cares.

[mrgrtbfrd]

@ZEITGEISTism dylan revived woody. No one was listening to Guthrie's "Discredited. communist" views in the 50's. Dylan brought him and his music to people who needed to hear it. I have loved Woody all my life, and I thank anyone who remembers him and loves him. I am an Oklahoma girl from the 40's.

[inatizzy2]

@mrgrtbfrd I, too, am an Oklahoma girl . Woody, Arlo....Great!

[inatizzy2]

@mrgrtbfrd I, too, am an Oklahoma girl . Woody, Arlo....Great! Im old too... 57 model here.

[AndrisGreen]

@mrgrtbfrd Pete Seeger and the Weavers revived Woody in the 50s times of the McCarthy and co. Dylan came about after Pete, and both are still going strong. True Anglo history of America here, not the stuff of high school textbooks. Who can not remember Sacco and Vanzetti after hearing Woody's tribute to two good men. Richness for us all in this simple profundity

[Adirtybum]

@mrgrtbfrd dylan sucks and just stole his music, didnt try to revive

[karenkasbah]

@Adirtybum ...is that why Bob Dylan did "Song to Woody Guthrie" on his first album as a tribute to him, and visited him in hospital regualarly and originally made the trip to New York in 1960 to see him?

[starlight1946]

Again history repeats itself, how many lost their homes due to Foreclosures?

[stickdog100]

Woody could have kicked Lady Gaga's butt.

[svetlanacat]

@stickdog100 thay cannot even be compared

[sunipeacemaker]

@stickdog100 fuckin A, if people gave a shit about real issues and culture this world wouldnt be in the state its in.

[sbmegypt3]

@stickdog100 haha, great comment.

[AustinMinor47]

@stickdog100 Woody would hit it

[csouthards1977]

@stickdog100 he still can.

[MrOdsplut]

@stickdog100 this machine kills gaga

[Soberchess]

@stickdog100 I do believe he would have licked Lady Gaga's butt given the chance. I mean that in the possible light mind you.

[paulhallart]

It's just as simple as that. do the right thing and you'll loose your home.

-

I've been on that hot and dusty road. heck, it looks like I'm still there.

-

as Bob Zimmie wrote: "here's to the hearts and the hands of the men who come with the dust and are gone with the wind".

[Kamaal916]

"I Ain't Got No Home in This World." A simple story of mankind. We just need to take time out our busy lives to realize what we take for granted.

[a89alex]

there are crooks and greedy people in every race

just enjoy the tune man

[gconnuck]

all of you shut up and enjoy this fantastic song

[krainbeem]

I believe they all copied Robert Burns!!!

[cycleryder]

Uhh you guys keep debating Dylan....two words. Phil Ochs. nuf said.

[ZacksTrippinOut]

also, he didn't take much time off. actually, he didn't take time off, he just didn't release an album for a few years. and yeah... dylan doesn't really fingerpick.

[ablindboygrunt]

@ZacksTrippinOut Dylan is a great fingerpicker. live at the Gaslight shows that.

[ZacksTrippinOut]

his first album was by no means mediocre. it just wasn't the bob dylan that appears on the rest of his albums. he played traditional folk music, and all of it was superb. this is all subject however.

[whalenbrowne]

dylan plagiarized his style? No way. listen to their music. Dylan was the first to trasnform his music from folk to rock. they both are different and both very good

[annikee59]

Anyone who knows even a little about music knows that many traditional tunes are used over and over again. Read. Listen. Shut up & learn.

[TREYOLDHIPPIE]

talk about a "historical standard" that still stands tall and true.

thank you so much.

[gringoflamenco]

Rich man took my house

and drove me from my door

aint got no home in this world anymore

Just as true today as it was then

[wistoncap]

commie

just kidding

[theolux1]

love it too!..

[wh1testripe]

love it
