woody guthrie - going up the mountain كلمات أغنية

i was going down the road just the other day
and somebody asked me, “how are you today?”
i said, “i’m going up the mountain, therefore to pray.”

a good friend said, “man, i’ll play you some cards.”
i said, “boy, you make it sound mighty hard
but i’m going up the mountain, therefore to pray.”

another brother says, “i’ll shoot you some dice.”
i said “boy, you sure do make it sound nice
but i’m heading up this mountain here, therefore to pray.”

then said a man, “hey, let’s take a shot of booze.”
i said to the man, “i ain’t got no time to lose
i’m going up this mountain’s shoulder, therefore to pray.”

then come along a millionaire with money in his hand
he tried to hire me to lie to all my land
i told him, “i’m heading up this mountain right now, therefore to pray.”

and up jumped a man with another crooked deal
i said, “good friend, i’d rather kneel
down along my mountaintop somewhere, therefore to pray.”

i met a woman with jewelry on her finger
i said to her friend, “i ain’t got no time to linger
i’m halfway up my mountainside, therefore to pray.”

i next met a woman with dye combed in her hair
i learned all there was to know about women from her
so i’m up here on my mountain kneeling, therefore to pray

and next come a man with a fortune for me
i’d rather be a poor man with a conscience free
so i’m walking up my mountain right now, therefore to pray

i was going down the road just the other day
somebody asked me, “how are you today?”
i said, “i’m going up the mountain, therefore to pray.”
