A Woody Guthrie había llegado por la acción combinada de Dylan -sabía que era el tipo al que visitaba en el hospital-, Trini López -This Land Is Your Land- y las versiones -ésta misma y Vigilante Man- que conocía por un álbum de rarezas de Bruce Springsteen llamado 'Another Side of Bruce Springsteen' y que escuché tantas veces como se escuchaban los discos cuando no había otro remedio que pagar por ellos: demasiadas. Supongo que por eso aún hoy me gusta más que la original.
Y suerte para mí: alguien la subió a YouTube otro 17 de marzo doce años después.
Bruce Springsteen - Ain't Got No Home
Ain't Got No Home por Woodie Guthrie, para los puristas:
Acéptese como curiosidad que mi canción preferida del hombre con el "this machine kills fascists" escrito en su guitarra se titula Riding in my Car y tiene bastante más de pasatiempo infantil que de reivindicación política.
Woody Guthrie - Ain't Got No Home
(Bruce Springsteen's way)
I ain't got no home, I'm just a-ramblin' 'round
I work when I can get it, I roam from town to town
Police make it hard, boys, wherever I may go
I ain't got no home in this world anymore
Well I was farmin' shares and always I was done,
my debts they was so many, my pay wouldn't go around
Drought got my crops and Mr. Banker's at my door
I ain't got no home in this world anymore
Six children I have raised, they're scattered and they're gone
and my darling wife to heaven she has flown
She died of the fever, yes, on the cabin floor
I ain't got no home in this world anymore
I've mined in your mines and I've gathered in your corn
I been workin' mister since the day that 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
Well now I just ramble 'round to see what I can see
It's a wide wicked world, sure a funny place to me
Gamblin' man is rich and the workin' man is poor
I ain't got no home in this world anymore
Well, I'm stranded on this road that goes from sea to sea,
hundred thousand others are stranded here with me,
hundred thousand others, yes, and a hundred thousand more
I ain't got no home in this world anymore
