Folksmen

The Folksmen is a fictional musical group created by the satirical American comedy troupe, The Christopher Guest Ensemble. They rose to fame with their mockumentary film "A Mighty Wind" in 2003, which parodied folk music and the folk music revival of the 1960s. The members of the Folksmen are played by actors Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer, who are all well-known for their comedy and improvisational skills. The group's music is a humorous and satirical take on traditional folk music, and their performances often involve comical banter and absurd situations. more »

As I travel down the back roads
Of this home I love so much

Every carpenter and cowboy,
Every lame man on a crutch

They're all talking bout this feeling
Bout a taste that's in the air
They're all talking bout this mighty wind
That's blowing everywhere

Oh a mighty winds a blowing
It's kicking up the sand
It's blowing out a message 
To every woman, child and man
Yes a mighty winds a blowing
Cross the land and cross the sea
It's blowing peace and freedom 
It's blowing equality

From a lighthouse in Bar Harbor
To a bridge called Golden Gates

From a trawler down in 
Shreveport
To the shore of one Great Lake

There's a star on the horizon
And it's burning like a flare
Its lighting up this mighty wind
That's blowing everywhere

Oh a mighty winds a blowing 
It's kicking up the sand
It's blowing out a message
To every woman, child and man
Yes a mighty winds a blowing
Cross the land and cross the sea
It's blowing peace and freedom
It's blowing equality

When the blind man sees the picture
When the deaf man hears the word

When the fisherman stops fishing
When the hunter spares the herd

We'll still hear the wondrous story
Of a world where people care
The story of this mighty wind
That's blowing everywhere

Oh a mighty winds a blowing
It's kicking up the sand
It's blowing out a message
To every woman, child and man
Yes a mighty winds a blowing
Cross the land and cross the sea
It's blowing peace and freedom
It's blowing equality
Yes it's blowing peace and freedom
It's blowing you and me!
