Ninety Mile Wind Lyrics - Woody Guthrie

Tonight is a night I'll walk in the wind 

And listen to stuff I can write 

The radio says a ninety mile wind 

Will whip old New York town tonight. 

Well I did walk and the wind did come 

And I got to see who was the toughest 

New York town or the high blowing wind 

And I found out New York was the roughest. 

This town has stood up in the face of things 

Lots worse than a ninety mile wind 

It's not bad storms I'm afraid of today 

But the greed that our leaders walk in.

I'll walk along the boardwalk rail 

And feel and hear this ninety mile gale 

I can hear the ocean mourn and groan 

And I wonder about ships lost out in this storm 

So come on wind and blow out your brains 

Blow like a cyclone across the flat plains 

This is just an echo of our world wide storm 

That's ripping away our balls and our chains. 

Blow you little hurricane blow blow blow 

I can see the Ferris Wheel and the parachute jump 

And the men and women in overalls holding Coney Island's rides down and I sometimes wonder what we do between blows 

That is half as much fun as Coney Island or New York town 

In a ninety or a hundred miles an hour storm.
