Biggest Thing Man Has Ever Done Lyrics - Singles - Woody Guthrie

I'm just a lonesome traveler, The Great Historical Bum 

Highly educated from history I have come 

I built the Rock of Ages, 'twas in the Year of One 

And that was about the biggest thing that man had ever done 

I worked in the Garden of Eden, that was the year of two 

Joined the apple pickers union, I always paid my due 

I'm the man that signed the contract to raise the rising sun 

And that was about the biggest thing that man had ever done 

I was straw boss on the Pyramids, the Tower of Babel, too 

I opened up the ocean let the migrant children through 

I fought a million battles and I never lost a one 

And that was about the biggest thing that man had ever done 

I beat the daring Roman, I beat the daring Turk 

Defeated Nero's army with thirty minutes work 

I fought the greatest leaders and I licked them everyone 

And that was about the biggest thing that man had ever done

I was in the Revolution when we set the country free 

It was me and a couple of Indians that dumped the Boston tea 

We won the battle at Valley Forge, the battle of Bully Run 

And that was about the biggest thing that man has ever done 

There was a man across the ocean and I guess you knew him well 

His name was Adolf Hitler, and damn his soul to hell 

We kicked him in the panzers and put him on the run 

And that was about the biggest thing that man has ever done 

Mines and mills and factories to run for Uncle Sam 

Produce and furs soldiers boys that fight to display lands 

Our job's a tough 'un, it'll take us everyone 

And this is about the biggest thing that man has ever done 

There's warehouse guys and teamsters and guys that skin the cats 

Guys that run my steel mill, my furnace and my blast 

We'll stop the Axis rattlesnakes and thieves of old Nippon 

And that will be the biggest thing that man has ever done
