"I Ain't Got No Home In This World Anymore" lyrics

"I Ain't Got No Home In This World Anymore"
(originally by Woody Guthrie)

I ain't got no home, I'm just a-ramblin' 'round
Just a migrant 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

Oh, my brothers and my sisters are stranded on this road
It's a hot and dusty road that a million feet have trod
Rich men took my home and barred me from my door
And I ain't got no home in this world anymore

I worked out on the shares, and always I was poor
Oh, I lay my money down into the banker's store
Oh, my wife took up and died upon the cabin floor
And I ain't got no home in this world anymore

As I look around, oh, it's mighty plain to see
This world is such a strange and funny place to be
Oh, the gamblin' man is rich and the workin' man is poor
And I ain't got no home in this world anymore

I ain't got no home, I'm just a-ramblin' 'round
Just a migrant 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
I said, I ain't got no home in this world anymore
