I Dreamed I Saw Woody Guthrie I dreamed I saw Woody Guthrie last night  a walkin' down the road An old guitar slung 'cross his back and other heavy loads On his heart a burden for every down trod man In his mouth a song of love for all the land Last night I dreamed of Woody Guthrie alive as you or me He died way up in New York town ,we cried down in Tennesse He took me through the dust bowl before he died in '67 Close my eyes late at night and hear him ride a frieght up in Heaven Says I to Woody "they say your dead", "I'll never die" says he " As long as theres still folks around who think like me As long as you can ride these rods and walk the open road I'll live inside the hearts and souls of all those who have hope" I dreamed I saw Woody Guthrie last night and I woke with a smile To know that he is still alive in the hearts of every child To know that he will always live as long as people sing As long as there is one soul left who believes we should be free - Rob McNurlin, Jack Elliott, John Flavell, John Carter Cash copyright Buffalo Skinner Music BMI
