Welcome to the Official Woody Guthrie Website!

WOODY SEZ ~

You elected me to this office
Of a poet and a singer
And I think I know
What you want me to do here
Things are said in history
And they are said again
And these of today
Have got to be said
Said again
Because today is our first time
To say
What we are today – and I will say
And sing of these things
These things that you fight for today.
