To me, one of the wonderful things of the past couple years is to see a whole batch of young people coming along
who decided that they'd do just like Woody Guthrie did, make up songs about everything that happens.
Not to try and get in the hit parade necessarily, but just to make a good song.
And if it gets on the hit parade, that's fine.
It'll reach more people.
But like Woody did, they're making up songs about every imaginable subject.
And I thought I'd devote the whole rest of this first half of the program to new songs,
which [E] you may or probably haven't ever heard before.
First is by a young fellow named [A] Tom Paxton.
Has a nice chorus.
You can all come in on it.
Some of you may know it.
So here's to you
May all [E] your angels bring [A] you joy
So here's to you
[D] [A]
May [E] all your angels bring [A] you joy
He was a [E] man and a friend [A] always
We bummed [E] around in the hard [A] old days
He'd never cared if I had no dough
We bummed [E]
around in the rain [A] and snow
So here's to you
[D] My [A] ramblin' boy
May all [E] your angels bring you [A]
joy
Oh, sing it again.
Here's to you
[E]
[A]
In Tulsa [E] town we chanced [A] astray
We thought [E] we'd try to work [A] one day
The boss said he [D] had room for [A] one
Says, my [E] old pal, we'd [A] rather bum
So here's to you
My ramblin'
[E]
[A]
boy
So here's to you
[D] [A]
May all [E] your [A]
angels bring you joy
Late one [E]
night in a jungle [A] camp
The weather, [E] it was cold [A] and damp
He got the chills [D] and he got them [A] bad
