Folksinger's Song

(альбом: Rediscover The Kingston Trio - 1985)

Well, how many beans could Woody have picked when he was always writing songs?
You believe that story about hard traveling, 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 singing and playing
And whose idea was it for him to start singing
So you couldn't understand what he was saying
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!
