I Ain't Got No Home: Lyrics

Words: Woody Guthrie, Music: This World Is Not My Home

• CD The Folkways Years
• LP Legendary Cisco Houston
• LP Songs Of The Open Road

I ain't got no home, I'm just a-wanderin' 'round
I'm just a wandering worker, and I go from town to town
The police make it hard boys, wherever I may go
And I ain't got no home in this world anymore

My brothers and my sisters are stranded on this road
A hot and dusty road that a million feet have trod
The rich man took my home and drove me from my door
And I ain't got no home in this world anymore

I Was farmin' on the shares, and always I was poor
My crops I laid into the banker's store
My wife took down and died upon the cabin floor
And I ain't got no home in this world anymore

Now as I look around, it's mighty plain to see
This old world is a great and a funny place to be
The gamblin' man is rich and the workin' man is poor
And I ain't got no home in this world anymore

No I ain't got no home in this world anymore

Of note:

A simple performance of a simple song. Could anyone sound as convincing?
