Hard Traveling

Words and Music by Woodie Guthrie

Played by a beginner on a Yamaha YPT 300

More verses --

I been doin' some hard-rock minin', I thought you knowed;
I been leanin' on a pressure drill, way down the road.
Hammer flyin' air-hose suckin', six feet o' mud an' I sure been a-muckin' --
I been havin' some hard travelin', Lord.

I been ridin' them fast rattlers, I thought you knowed;
I been ridin' them flat wheelers, way down the road.
I been ridin' them dead enders, blind passengers, pickin' up cinders '
I been havin' some hard travelin', Lord.

I been hittin' some hard harvestin', I thought you knowed;
North Dakota to Kansas City, way down the road.
Cuttin' that wheat, stackin' that hay, tryin' to make 'bout a dollar a day --
I been havin' some hard travelin', Lord.

Yes, I know. I'm sorry about that. I wish I could do better! At least I can take some comfort knowing that you have Woody and Paul's good version to enjoy!

Nicely done, Karen- you sound better every time I drop by for a listen!

[kaburto1966]
