lyrics

John Muir’s Walking Blues

What cha gonna do when the well runs dry
What cha gonna do when the well runs dry
Hang your head and commence to cry
Gonna hit the road and say goodbye
With the John Muir blues
I got John Muir’s walking blues

What cha gonna do when the rain don’t come
What cha gonna do when the rain don’t come
Remember the year the Oakies fled
Now you’ve made the very same bed

There was water in the ground and in the mountains high
Now the valley’s sunk down and the snow pack’s dry
Big Ag is playing like Chinatown
If you want your pasture green got to lay your money down
Got the John Muir blues
I got John Muir’s walking blues

I’m walking back to a holy land
Where mountains and valleys forever stand
You can dam Hetch Hetchy it’ll do no good
You’ll still be thirsty and hungry too
