Talking Subway Lyrics - Woody Guthrie

I struck out for old New York, 

Thought I'd find me a job of work. 

One leg up and the other leg down, 

I come in through a hole in the ground. 

Holland Tunnel. Three mile tube. 

Skippin' through the Hudson River dew. 

I blowed into New York town, 

And I looked up and I looked down, 

Everybody I seen on the streets 

Was all a running down in a hole in the ground. 

I follered 'em. See where they's a going. 

Newsboy said they're tryin' to smoke a rat out of a hole.

I run down thirty eight flights of stairs, 

Boy, howdy! I declare! 

I rode old elevator twenty two 

And spent my last lone nickel, too. 

Feller in a little cage got it. 

Herded me through a shoot the shoot. 

Run me through three clothes wringers. 

So many people down in there I couldn't even fall down.

I swung onto my old guitar, 

Train come a rumbling down the track, 

I got shoved into the wrong damn car 

With three grass widows on my back. 

Two of 'em looking for home relief, 

Other one just investigating.
