Ain't Got No Home - Woody Guthrie

Ain't Got No Home, is a song from Woody Guthrie's 'Dust Bowl Ballads' recorded in 1940, It is based on an older gospel song that Guthrie re-wrote.
The Carter Family recorded the original 'Can't Feel at Home" in 1931 and there are couple of earlier recordings from the 1920s.
The original gospel song is thought to be from the 1800s.
Lyrics;
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.

I liked this the first time I heard it when it was first uploaded, but it's grown on me massively since. Usually I'll put it on after work while I'm playing games, and every time I hear it I remember how perfect it is and play it a few more times. Thank you for this, you are one hell of a musician.
