paroles de chanson The Biggest Thing Man Has Ever Done - Woody Guthrie
(The
Great
Historical
Bum)
I′m
just
a
lonesome
traveler,
The
Great
Historical
Bum.
Highly
educated
from
history
I
have
come.
I
built
the
Rock
of
Ages,
'twas
in
the
Year
of
One
And
that
was
about
the
biggest
thing
that
man
had
ever
done.
I
worked
in
the
Garden
of
Eden,
that
was
the
year
of
two,
Joined
the
apple
pickers
union,
I
always
paid
my
due;
I′m
the
man
that
signed
the
contract
to
raise
the
rising
sun,
And
that
was
about
the
biggest
thing
that
man
had
ever
done.
I
was
straw
boss
on
the
Pyramids,
the
Tower
of
Babel,
too;
I
opened
up
the
ocean
let
the
migrant
children
through,
I
fought
a
million
battles
and
I
never
lost
a
one,
And
that
was
about
the
biggest
thing
that
man
had
ever
done.
I
beat
the
daring
Roman,
I
beat
the
daring
Turk,
Defeated
Nero's
army
with
thirty
minutes
work,
I
fought
the
greatest
leaders
and
I
licked
them
everyone
And
that
was
about
the
biggest
thing
that
man
had
ever
done.
I
stopped
old
Caesar's
Romans,
and
I
stopped
the
Kubla
Khan;
I
took
but
half
an
hour′s
work
to
beat
the
Pharaoh′s
bands;
I
knocked
old
Kaiser
Bill
flat,
then
I
dumped
the
bloody
Huns,
And
that's
about
the
biggest
thing
that
man
has
ever
done.
I
was
in
the
Revolution
when
we
set
the
country
free;
Me
and
a
couple
of
Indians
that
dumped
the
Boston
tea;
We
won
the
battle
at
Valley
Forge,
the
battle
of
Bully
Run;
And
that
was
about
the
biggest
thing
that
man
has
ever
done.
Next,
we
won
the
slavery
war,
some
other
folks
and
me,
And
every
slave
from
sea
to
sea
was
all
turned
loose
by
me.
I
divorced
old
Madam
slavery,
and
I
wed
this
freedom
dame.
And
that′s
about
the
biggest
thing
that
man
has
ever
done.
And
then
I
took
to
farming
on
the
great
midwestern
plain,
The
dust
it
blowed
a
hundred
years,
but
never
come
a
rain'
Well,
me
and
a
million
other
fellas
left
there
on
the
run
And
that
was
about
the
biggest
thing
that
man
has
ever
done.
I
clumb
the
rocky
canyon
where
the
Columbia
River
rolls,
Seen
the
salmon
leaping
the
rapids
and
the
falls
The
big
Grand
Coulee
Dam
in
the
state
of
Washington
Is
just
about
the
biggest
thing
that
man
has
ever
done.
There′s
a
building
in
New
York
that
you
call
the
Empire
State
I
rode
the
rods
to
'Frisco
to
walk
the
Golden
Gate
I′ve
seen
every
foot
of
film
that
Hollywood
has
run
But
Coulee
is
the
biggest
thing
that
man
has
ever
done.
Three
times
the
size
of
Boulder
or
the
highest
pyramid
Makes
the
Tower
of
Babel
a
plaything
for
a
kid
From
the
rising
of
the
river
to
the
setting
of
the
sun
The
Coulee
is
the
biggest
thing
that
man
has
ever
done.
There
was
a
man
across
the
ocean,
I
guess
you
knew
him
well,
His
name
was
Adolf
Hitler,
goddam
his
soul
to
hell;
We
kicked
him
in
the
panzers
and
put
him
on
the
run,
And
that
was
about
the
biggest
thing
that
man
has
ever
done.
I'm
living
with
my
freedom
wife
in
this
big
land
we
built;
It
takes
all
forty
eight
States
for
me
to
spread
my
quilt.
Our
kids
are
several
millions
now;
they
run
from
sun
to
sun.
And
that's
about
the
biggest
thing
that
man
has
ever
done.
I
built
mines
and
mills
and
factories
to
run
for
Uncle
Sam;
I
turned
th′
ploughs
and
wheels
to
feed
my
soldiers
in
your
lands;
This
Nazi
job′s
a
tough
'un,
it′ll
take
us
everyone,
'Cause
this
is
about
the
biggest
thing
that
man
has
ever
done.
There′s
warehouse
guys
and
teamsters
and
guys
that
skin
the
cats
Guys
that
run
my
steel
mill,
my
furnace
and
my
blast
We'll
stop
the
Axis
rattlesnakes
and
thieves
of
old
Nippon
And
that
will
be
the
biggest
thing
that
man
has
ever
done.
I′d
better
quit
my
talking,
'cause
I
told
you
all
I
know,
But
please
remember,
pardner,
wherever
you
may
go,
The
people
are
building
a
peaceful
world,
and
when
the
job
is
done
That'll
be
the
biggest
thing
that
man
has
ever
done.
I
better
quit
my
talking
now;
I
told
you
all
I
know,
But
please
remember,
pardner,
wherever
you
may
go,
I′m
older
than
your
old
folks,
and
I′m
younger
than
the
young,
And
I'm
about
the
biggest
thing
that
man
has
ever
done.
