Lyrics for Ballad of William Worthy by Phil Ochs:
| | | Artist: | Phil Ochs |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Ballad of William Worthy | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 59 | | | | Lyrics: | Well, it's of a bold reporter whose story I will tell
He went down to the Cuban land, the
nearest place to hell
He'd been there many times before, but now the law does say
The only
way to Cuba is with the CIA
William Worthy isn't worthy to enter our door
Went down to
Cuba, he's not American anymore
But somehow it is strange to hear the State Department
say
You are living in the free world, in the free world you must stay
Five thousand
dollars or a five year sentence may well be
For a man who had the nerve to think that travelin'
is free
Oh why'd he waste his time to see a dictator's reign
When he could have seen
democracy by travelin' on to Spain?
William Worthy isn't worthy to enter our door
Went
down to Cuba, he's not American anymore
But somehow it is strange to hear the State Department
say
You are living in the free world, in the free world you must stay
So, come all you
good travelers and fellow-travelers, too
Yes, and travel all around the world, see every country
through
I'd surely like to come along and see what may be new
But my passport's disappearing
as I sing these words to you
Well, there really is no need to travel to these evil
lands
Yes, and though the list grows larger you must try to understand
Try hard not to be
surprised if someday you should hear
The whole world is off limits, visit Disneyland this
year
William Worthy isn't worthy to enter our door
Went down to Cuba, he's not American
anymore
But somehow it is strange to hear the State Department say
You are living in the
free world, in the free world you must stay | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
