Testo Talking Sailor - Woody Guthrie
Testo della canzone Talking Sailor (Woody Guthrie), tratta dall'album Talking Blues
Bed with my woman just singing the blues
Heard the radio telling the news
Said the big red army took a hundred towns
And allies dropping them two-ton bombs
Started hollering, yelling
Dancing up and down like a bullfrog
Doorbell rung and in come a man
I signed my name and got a telegram
Said if you want to take a vacation trip
Got a dishwashing job on a liberty ship
Woman a-crying, me a-flying
Out the door and down the line
'Bout two minutes, run ten blocks
I come to my ship down at the dock
Walked up the plank and I signed my name
Blowed that whistle, was gone again
Right on out and down the stream
Ships dispersed, my eye could see
Woman waiting
Ship loaded down with TNT
All out across the rolling sea
Stood on the deck, watched the fishes swim
I was praying them fish wasn't made out of tin
Sharks, porpoises, jelly beans
Rainbow trouts, mud cats, jew gars
All over that water
This convoy's the biggest they ever did see
Stretches all the way out across the sea
And the ships blow their whistles and they ring their bells
Gonna blow them fascists all to hell
Win some freedom, liberty
Stuff like that
Walked to the tail and stood on the stern
Looking at the big brass screw blade turn
Listened to the sound of the engine pound
Gained sixteen feet every time went around
Getting closer and closer
Look out, you fascists
I'm just one of the merchant crew
I belong to the union called the NMU
I'm a union man from head to toe
I'm USA and CIO
Fighting out here on the waters
To win some freedom on the land
