I guess i planted


I guess I planted some long lonesome seed of a song
Way down inside me long ago
And now I can't remember when it was
But it joined up with the rest of them and grows
It's such a little song it don't compare
With all your obig ones you hear everywhere
But when it dawns away in the back of your mind
The big ones are made up of the little kind

Union song. Union battled.
All added up. Won us all what we got now.

I can't even start to look around me here
Without hearing this song
And seeing all of us first separated
Hurt, apart, and afraid
And hungry for the union
And so we kept on
Singing and working, fighting till we got it.
And this is the big union song I guess I hear.

We fought there at your place
We fought there on your ship
And I guess if you missed out on the fight for our union
You missed out on one awful big step
Us people took.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Woody Guthrie (1912-1967) was an American singer-songwriter, musician, and activist widely considered a pioneer of modern American folk music. Born in Okemah, Oklahoma, Guthrie spent his childhood during the Great Depression, an experience that profoundly influenced his music. His songs often addressed social issues such as poverty, injustice, and labor, becoming a voice for workers and the oppressed. ?? Guthrie was a fervent supporter of the American Communist Party and used his music to promote socialist causes. His influence on American folk music is immense, inspiring generations of artists like Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Bruce Springsteen. Some of his most famous songs include 'This Land Is Your Land', 'Blowin' in the Wind' (though this was made famous by Bob Dylan) and 'Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)'
