Quotes by Woody Guthrie

Take it easy, but take it.

As I went walking I saw a sign thereAnd on the sign it said No Trespassing.But on the other side it didnt say nothing,That side was made for you and me.This land is your land, this land is my landFrom California to the New York islandFrom the Redwood forest to the Gulf Stream watersThis land was made for you and me.

This machine kills fascists.

I know the police cause you troubleThey cause trouble everywhereBut when you die and go to heavenYou find no policeman there

You will never find peace with these fascistsYoull never find friends such as weSo remember that valley of JaramaAnd the people thatll set that valley free.From this valley they say we are goingDo not hasten to bid us adieu Even though we lost the battle at JaramaWell set this valley before were through.All this world is like this valley called JaramaSo green and so bright and so fairNo fascists can dwell in our valleyNor breathe in our new freedoms air.

Now as through this world I ramble I see lots of funny men Some rob you with a six gun Some with a fountain pen.

Life has got a habit of not standing hitched. You got to ride it like you find it. You got to change with it. If a day goes by that dont change some of your old notions for new ones, that is just about like trying to milk a dead cow.
