Lyrics:
Traditional, arranged and adapted by Arlo Guthrie
It was late last night when the boss came home
Asking about his lady
The only answer that he got
Adapted by Doc Watson, Additional adaptation by John Pilla and Arlo Guthrie
Co-produced by Van Dyke Parks
I went down in the valley to pray
Learnin'
Words and music by Arlo Guthrie
Friends I used to know are coming by
To ask me if my situation's high
'Cause sometimes I just stare at the sky
Up is
Adapted by Doc Watson, Additional adaptation by John Pilla and Arlo Guthrie
Co-produced by Van Dyke Parks
I went down in the valley to pray
Learnin'
Words and music by Arlo Guthrie
There's trouble all around the world
Well, it looks that way to me
People don't know what to do
They don't know
Words and music by Arlo Guthrie
I remember when I met you
Underneath the evening sky
Now it seems I could forget you
Rescue me, I'm bound to die
Traditional, arranged
By Arlo Guthrie
Come all you old time cowboys
And listen to my song
Please do not grow weary
I'll not detain you long
and much cheaper than the CDs
And that’s the way I caught the disease
I caught the disease for LPs
There wasn’t any internet a lot of the
Times you just
There's this book coming out and they asked me to write, uh
Something about Woody
Uh, sort of like, what does Woody Guthrie mean to you?
In
Arlo sniffs dry high grass then notices something of interest way over there.
It’s Riley! He’s playful, sturdy, good-natured, and always nearly out
Arranged and adapted by Arlo Guthrie
So you ask me my kind friend
Why I am sad and still
And why my brow is darkened
Like the clouds upon the hill
Words and music by Arlo Guthrie
There's a river running underground
That roll along the clay
That took my body when I laid it down
And carried it
Words and Music Arlo Guthrie
Every hand in the land
Shakes along with me
It don't seem that I can dream
Like I used to dream
Maybe that somebody is
Words and Music by Arlo Guthrie
I'd like to tell you a story
For just a minute or two
And if you don't want to hear it
Just be quiet if some others
Words and music by Arlo Guthrie
If all the doors were closed in heaven
Where would all the angels go
Would they just fly around forever
Or would
Words and music by Arlo Guthrie
And for myself I have no regrets
That time has taken what it soon forgets
A gambler's paradise in short vignettes
Words and music by Arlo Guthrie
The sun is sinking down
I'm standing 'round my window
You say you're going away
But I believe in love
CHORUS:
Words and music by Arlo Guthrie
The sun is sinking down
I'm standing 'round my window
You say you're going away
But I believe in love
CHORUS:
Words and music by Arlo Guthrie
Running down the road
Make my get away
Everything I told you
Was just yesterday
Yes, You know I'm off again
Oh,
The audience is rowdy and the rain is pourin' down
They want some Arlo Guthrie, I wanna get outta town
They're asking the impossible, there's just no
and I worked my way up by hard
Work. I ain't never got nowhere yet but I got there by
Hard work.
Work of the hardest kind. I been down and I been out
There's a kid out on my corner, hear him strumming like a fool
Shivering in his dungerees, but still he's going to school
His cheeks are made
the feeling that I didn't know the way
He said
Son it looks as though you're feeling pretty low
And I've gotta say I've been there a time or two before
So
Well I was born in 1965
That was a hell of a good time to be alive
Except that by the age of ten
The music had turned crap again
Now people say they
