Talking Sailor - Woody Guthrie (伍迪·格思里)

Written by:Guthrie

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 T N T

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 then

N M U

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
