INUIT3333— Thanks. The Carradine movie, Bound for Glory, uses the title from Woody's autobiography. I enjoyed the movie; it is a nice companion to the great movie, The Grapes of Wrath, based on John Steinbeck's novel. Woody wrote the song "Tom Joad" after watching the John Ford movie twice in succession. Steinbeck wrote a brief intro to Woody's work. You can hear it on my video entitled "Introduction to Woody Guthrie." The line you quote is a very artistic way to play down the violence.
Thank you, Tim. I was trying to pick up the lyrics for the middle of the song so I could play it tomorrow at a service at the Montclair Unitarians (CA) where the minister is speaking on a sermon first delivered during the Great Depression regarding losing all one's money and income. I've played this song for years sort of gliding over the middle, having learned it from the Byrds.
Thanks. This piece is one of 13 Woody Guthrie songs that I do for my American Studies high school class. My YouTube site also has my musical lecture called Songs of the West with 20 videos of intros and story, work, travel, love, protest, and comedy songs performed on the 6-string and 12-string guitar, 6-string banjo, mountain dulcimer, harmonica, and a cappella.
Finally, I have 21 original songs on YouTube and 6 original songs (sans-videos) on my MySpace site. Check 'em out!
