WOODY GUTHRIE lyrics - Woman At Home



Your Folk song singers all go around a singing

How bad are the men, how sinful are the women:

I got a woman at home with her door left open for me;

I got a woman at home with her gate wide open for mr.



These singers going round do the same old thing

Run all my women down on your slick-slidin' string

I got a woman at home with her screen left open for me

I got a woman at home with her blinds wide open for me.



You grizzly bear boys all of you fall high flyers

You're sixteen kids behind me in the passion fires

I got a woman at home with her door left open for me

I got a woman at home with her gate wide open for me.



I'm a high ballad man, I'm a folk singer too;

I sing about the good things men and women do;

I got a woman at home with her sheets left open for me;

I got a woman at home with her blanket wide open for me.



I was first born a-singin' in this big world,

Raised by the laborin' movements of a hundred pretty girls;

I got a woman at home with her arms left open for me.

I got a woman at home with her hands wide open for me.
