[Verse 1]
             
I'm out here a

          
 thousand mile

          
s from my home
          
Walkin' a road

           
 other men hav

       
e gone down
             
I'm seein' you

             
r world of peo

        
ple and things
             
Your paupers a

           
nd peasants an

           
d princes and 

 
kings

[Verse 2]
             
Hey hey Woody 

          
Guthrie I wrot

        
e you a song
             
'Bout a funny 

           
old world that

        
's comin' alon

g
             
Seems sicked i

              
t's hungry, it

             
's tired and i

    
t's torn
             
It looks like 

           
it's a-dyin' a

           
nd it's hardly

 
 been born

[Verse 3]
             
Hey hey Woody 

              
Guthrie but I 

          
know that you 


know
             
All the things

           
 that I'm sayi

           
n' and a many 

      
times more
             
I'm singin' yo

              
u this song, b

             
ut I can't sin

   
g enough
             
'Cause there's

           
 not many men 

           
that done the 

 
things that yo

u done

[Verse 4]
             
Here's to Cisc

              
o and Sonny an

o
             
And to all the

           
 good people t

           
hat traveled w

    
ith you
             
Here's to the 

              
hearts and the

             
 hands of the 


men
             
That come with

           
 the dust and 

           
are gone with 

    
the wind

[Verse 5]
             
I'm leavin' to

             
morrow but I c

/          
ould leave tod

ay
          
Somewhere down

           
 the road some


day
             
The very last 

             
thing that I'd

         
 want to do
             
Is to say I've

           
 been hittin' 

           
some hard trav

      
elin' too
