Woody's Song Lyrics

Mike Settle

Well, how many beans could Woody have picked when
he was always writing songs? You believe that
story about hard travelin', well, I can tell you
right now you're wrong! You see the only thing
Woody picked was his guitar. He had a very close
friend writing words in the car. How many beans
could Woody have picked when he was always writing
songs?
How many jail songs could Allen write? He ain't
never been in jail! The only thing that Allen
knows about jail is who to go his bail! He had a
thing going with a prison guard. He had a tape
recorder hooked up in the prison yard. How many
jail songs could Allen write? He ain't never been
in jail!
Now who was it that got that blues singer out of
jail and got him singin' and playin' And whose
idea was it for him to start singin' So you
couldn't understand what he was sayin' And who led
them blind folksingers around? Well, you can take
it from me. Ain't nobody led them blind cats
around 'cause they can really see! Yeah, they can
really see!
