Woody Guthrie-The first coffee lovin' anti-Foodie?


an early picture of Woody working on his guitar slogans
This latte is your latte, This latte is my latte

From Cabramatta to the Flinders island;

From the old growth forest to the Sylvania Waters

This latte was made for you and Me.

As I was walking that ribbon of highway,

I saw above me that endless skyway:

I saw below me that golden valley:

This latte was made for you and me.

I've roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps

To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts;

And all around me a voice was sounding:

This latte was made for you and me.

When the sun came shining, and I was strolling,

And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling,

As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting:

This latte was made for you and me.

As I went walking I saw a sign there

And on the sign it said "No Soy Lattes."

But on the other side it didn't say nothing,

That side was made for you and me.

In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people,

By the relief office I seen my people;

As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking

Is this latte made for you or me?

Nobody living can ever stop me,

As I go walking that freedom highway;

Nobody living can ever make me turn back

This latte was made for you and me.

Woody "Three-Shots" Guthrie
