Woody Guthrie — End of the Line

Back in nineteen thirty-three Livin' in the dust was a killin' me Back in nineteen thirty-four The dust did rose and blowed some more 'Long come nineteen thirty-five Blowed my crop about nine mile high 'Long about nineteen thirty-six Me and my woman in a devil of a fix Me and my woman in a devil of a fix Me and my woman in a devil of a fix 'Long about nineteen thirty-nine We fanned our tails for that Oregon line Fanned our tails to the Oregon line Fanned our tails to the Oregon line We got a hold of a piece of land Fifteen miles from the Coulee dam Fifteen miles from the Coulee dam Fifteen miles from the Coulee dam Now, the Coulee dam is a sight to see Makes this e-lec-a-tric-i-tee Makes this e-lec-a-tric-i-tee Make that e-lec-a-tric-i-tee Well, Oregon state is mighty fine If you're hooked on to the power line But there ain't no country extra fine If you're just a mile from the end o' the line I milk my cows and turn my stone Till the big Grand Coullee comes along My eyes are crossed, my back's in a cramp Tryin' to read the Bible by my coal-oil lamp Tryin' to read the Bible by my coal-oil lamp Tryin' to read the Bible by my coal-oil lamp I guess I come to the end of the line I guess I come to the end of the line I guess I come to the end of the line I guess I come to the end of the line Ain't no country extra fine If you are a mile from the end of the line Ain't no country extra fine If you ain't on to the power line Well, I guess I come to the end of the line I guess I come to the end of the line
