The Songs He Sang
Taking It Easy: Lyrics
As performed by Cisco Houston
Woody Guthrie
Appears on:Well I bought me a paper 'Cause I wanted to know Just what to do when the sirens blow And the mayor said "Well you hadn't oughta run But just take it easy when the sirens hum" I'm taking it easy I'm taking it slow I ain't a-gonna worry When the sirens blow I'm taking it easy I'm taking it slow I ain't a-gonna worry When the sirens blow There's a pretty little woman Lives down the street For years and years Been dying to meet When the blackout came What did I find But she had the same thing On her mind Just taking it easy Just taking it slow I ain't a-gonna worry When the sirens blow I'm taking it easy I'm taking it slow I ain't a-gonna worry When the sirens blow Well the boat whistle blew Way down on the dock And I walkled to the shelter Down the block When I got there What did I see But that pretty little woman By the side of me Just taking it easy Just taking it slow I ain't a-gonna worry When the sirens blow I'm taking it easy I'm taking it slow I ain't a-gonna worry When the sirens blow Well I wanted her to know I was a natural man So I took the situation Well in hand When the all-clear signal Begin to whine That pretty little woman Said she'd be mine Just taking it easy Just taking it slow I ain't a-gonna worry When the sirens blow I'm taking it easy I'm taking it slow I ain't a-gonna worry When the sirens blow
Of note:
Nice singing. Nice playing. A bit of an outdated lyric, I'm afraid.
