Woody Guthrie - Ain't Got No Home - Rich Man Took My Home, Drove Me From My Door

[appalachiablue]

I ain't got no home, I'm just a-roamin' 'round,
Just a wandrin' worker, I go from town to town.
And the police make it hard wherever I may go
And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.

My brothers and my sisters are stranded on this road, A hot and dusty road that a million feet have trod; Rich man took my home and drove me from my door, And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.

Was a-farmin' on the shares, and always I was poor; My crops I lay into the banker's store.
My wife took down and died upon the cabin floor, And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.

I mined in your mines and I gathered in your corn, I been working, mister, since the day I was born, Now I worry all the time like I never did before, 'Cause I ain't got no home in this world anymore

Now as I look around, it's mighty plain to see
This world is such a great and a funny place to be; Oh, the gamblin' man is rich an' the workin' man is poor, And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.

- Ain't Got No Home" (or 'I Ain't Got No Home in This World Anymore') is a song by Woody Guthrie, released on Dust Bowl Ballads, in which the singer laments the difficulties that life presents him. It was based on a gospel song Guthrie heard on his visits to the migrant camps known variously as "Can't Feel at Home" or "I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore", which had been made popular by the Carter Family in 1931.
Guthrie wrote his version of the song in response to this version, in an attempt to capture more effectively the "unrelieved anger" of the Dust Bowl refugees...
