Talking Sailor Lyrics - My Dusty Road - Woody Guthrie

In bed with my woman, just a singing the blues 

And I heard the radio a telling the news 

Said, the big Red army took a hundred towns 

And the allies dropping them two ton bombs 

I started hollering, yelling 

Dancing up and down like a bullfrog 

Doorbell rung, in come a man 

I signed my name, I got a telegram 

Says,"If you want to take a vacation trip 

Got a dish washing job on a liberty ship" 

Woman a crying, me a flying 

Out the door and down the line

'Bout two minutes I run ten blocks 

I come to my ship down at the docks 

Walked up the plank and I signed my name 

Blowed the whistle and was gone again 

Right on out and down the stream 

Ships as far as my eye could see, pulling away 

Ship loaded down with TNT 

All out across the rolling sea 

I stood on the deck and watched the fishes swim 

I was a-praying them fishes wasn't made of tin 

Sharks Porpoises 

Jelly beans, rainbow trouts, mud-cats, jew-gars 

All over that water 

This convoy's the biggest I ever did see 

It stretches all the way out across the sea 

The ships blow their whistles and ring their bells 

Gonna blow them fascists all to hell 

Win some freedom, liberty, stuff like that

Walked to the tail, stood on the stern 

Looking at the big brass screw blade turn 

Listened to the sound of the engines pond 

Came sixteen feet every time it went round 

Gets closer and closer, look out, you Fascists 

I'm just one of the merchant crew 

I belong to the union called the NMR 

I'm a union man from head to toe 

I'm U-S-A and C-I-O 

Fighting out here on the waters 

Win some freedom on the land
