West Virginia coal mines that took so many lives

when they heard he’d come

Just a boy from Oklahoma
D Bm
on an endless one-night stand
G A
wan’drin’ and a-ramblin’
D Bm
driftin’ with the midnight sand.

He played the blues and the ballads

and all that came between

his heart was in the Union

for the servant’s dream.

Now I was talking to a man that met him

in a bar near Clovis town.

where he’d be when the morrow came

He said through his grin,

I put my thumb in the wind
D
and I’m off down the road again.

Just a boy from Oklahoma

my heart is in the Union

Now you know that Woody Guthrie

Is dead and buried in the ground

I’ll hold that his fires everlastin’

Testify that his voice has rung true

and the ramblin’ man’s ris’
C G
and the kingdom’s his
D
but his songs are for me and you.
