Woody Guthrie (Okemah, 5 de agosto de 1912 — Queens, 3 de outubro de1967) é considerado um dos nomes mais importantes em toda a história da cultura popular norte-americana.
Ele foi, praticamente, o criador da música country moderna, que ajudou a promover através de uma vida de andarilho, onde as recompensas financeiras eram quase sempre nulas.
Suas letras falavam por aqueles que não tinham voz na sociedade americana da época, como os negros, os caipiras, os operários e os bandidos.

SO LONG ITS BEEN GOOD T KNOW YUH
Woody Guthrie borrowed the medody for this song from "The BAllad of Billy the Kid", and the chorus is a variant of Huddie (Leadbelly) Ledbetter's Goodnight Irene.
CG7 I've sung this song, but I'll sing it again CG7 Of the people I've met and the places I've seen CC7F Of some of the troubles that bothered my mind F#dim/CG7C And a lot of good people that I've left behind, saying:
(CHORUS) C So long it's been good to know yuh, G7C So long it's been good to know yuh, FF#dim So long it's been good to know yuh, CD7G7 What a long time since I've been home.... C (G7-1st verse) And I've gotta be driftin' along. -------------------------------------

The Sweethearts they sat in the dark and they sparked.
They hugged and they kissed in that dusty old dark
They sighed and they cried and they hugged and they kissed,
But instead of marriage they talked like this, Honey .... rk
