Lyrics:
when de rocks in dis mountain turn to gol'
John Henry said to his shaker
"Nigger, why don' you sing?
I'm throwin' twelve poun's from my hips on down
Words and music by Arlo Guthrie
There's trouble all around the world
Well, it looks that way to me
People don't know what to do
They don't know
Words and music by Arlo Guthrie
Friends I used to know are coming by
To ask me if my situation's high
'Cause sometimes I just stare at the sky
Up is
Arranged and adapted by Arlo Guthrie
So you ask me my kind friend
Why I am sad and still
And why my brow is darkened
Like the clouds upon the hill
Traditional, arranged and adapted by Arlo Guthrie
It was late last night when the boss came home
Asking about his lady
The only answer that he got
Words and music by Arlo Guthrie
Looked into your eyes this morning
You were far away
You must have known I was looking for you
You knew you couldn't
Words and music by Arlo Guthrie
And for myself I have no regrets
That time has taken what it soon forgets
A gambler's paradise in short vignettes
Words and music by Arlo Guthrie
In the event of my demise
Be sure to include this statement
When you are bent on closing my eyes
Thinking about what
Words and music by Arlo Guthrie
The sun is sinking down
I'm standing 'round my window
You say you're going away
But I believe in love
CHORUS:
Words and music by Arlo Guthrie
There's a river running underground
That roll along the clay
That took my body when I laid it down
And carried it
Words and music by Arlo Guthrie
The sun is sinking down
I'm standing 'round my window
You say you're going away
But I believe in love
CHORUS:
Words and music by Arlo Guthrie
Poor Adam alone in Eden
Taking off his shoes
Tired of running around all morning
From his animal interviews
He
Words and music by Arlo Guthrie
I remember when I met you
Underneath the evening sky
Now it seems I could forget you
Rescue me, I'm bound to die
Traditional, arranged
By Arlo Guthrie
Come all you old time cowboys
And listen to my song
Please do not grow weary
I'll not detain you long
Words and music by Arlo Guthrie
Running down the road
Make my get away
Everything I told you
Was just yesterday
Yes, You know I'm off again
Oh,
Words and music by Arlo Guthrie
Looked into your eyes this morning
You were far away
You must have known I was looking for you
You knew you couldn't
for this Dylan
Record oh yes please
And The Cream, and Rolling Stones
And Arlo Guthrie
A giant treasure trove all for pennies
And that’s how I caught
them greedy sons of bitches took my husband from my side. Their greed's the only reason that he died.
I ain't as strong as John Henry was and the truth
Oh pity the plight of the youngest son
Prince Henry was born to be no one
With three elder brothers who came before
A life in the church was all that
playin' clan
And it's nice to hear a fiddle by a fiddle playin' man
Here's another song for Uncle Jeff Guthrie
Written on the road by the light
John Henry was a little baby boy
You could hold him on the palm of your hand
And his Papa cried out this lonesome farewell
Son you're gonna be
things she had to say
Henry, the check is in my hands
Brought by the insurance man to cover all my plans
We'll have flowers, your broker will be there
you're facin'
Prosecution set it with your opening statement
Your honor, before we get started
I'd like to give my condolences to the family
just wanted to give you a son, my love
I failed...
I don't wanna die!""
Hallowed be thy majesty,
God have mercy
Judged by infidels,
London will
