================================================= Woody Guthrie - Biggest Thing Man Has Ever Done ================================================= No capo [Verse 1] I’m just a lonesome traveler The Great Historical Bum Highly educated from history I have come I built the Rock of Ages ’twas in the Year of One And that was about the biggest thing that man had ever done [Verse 2] I worked in the Garden of Eden that was the year of two Joined the apple pickers union I always paid my due I’m the man that signed the contract to raise the rising sun That’s about the biggest thing that man had ever done [Verse 3] I was straw boss on the Pyramids and the Tower of Babel too Opened up the ocean let the migrant children through I fought a million battles and I never lost a one And that was about the biggest thing that man has ever done [Verse 4] I beat the daring Roman I beat the daring Turk Defeated Nero’s army with thirty minutes work I fought the greatest leaders and I licked them everyone And that was about the biggest thing that man had ever done [Verse 5] I was in the Revolution when we set the country free It’s was me and a couple Indians that dumped the Boston tea We won the battle at Valley Forge and battle of Bully Run That’s about the biggest thing that man has ever done [Verse 6] There is a man across the ocean and I guess you knew him well His name is Adolf Hitler and damn his soul to hell We’ll kick him in the panzers and put him on the run That’ll be the biggest thing that man has ever done [Verse 7] There’s mines and mills and factories that run for Uncle Sam Producin’ for the soldier boys that fight for this great land Our job it is a tough ’un it’ll take us everyone But this will be the biggest thing that man has ever done [Verse 8] There’s warehouse guys and teamsters and guys that skin the cats Guys that run the steel mill the furnace and the blast We’ll stop the Axis rattlesnakes and thieves of old Nippon And that will be the biggest thing that man has ever done [Verse 9] I’d better quit my talking ’cause I told you all I know Please remember pardner wherever you may go The world is digging Hitler’s grave and when the job is done That’ll be the biggest thing that man has ever done Yes that’ll be the biggest thing that man has ever done

La chanson évoque les accomplissements remarquables de l'humanité tout en soulignant des moments historiques clés, souvent avec une touche d'ironie. Le chanteur se présente comme un voyageur qui a été témoin et acteur de nombreux événements emblématiques, allant de la création du monde à des batailles célèbres. À travers des vers, il met en avant des réalisations comme la libération d'un pays ou la lutte contre des tyrans, tout en renforçant l'idée d'un combat collectif contre le mal. Le contexte est imprégné de l'histoire américaine, en particulier des luttes contre le fascisme et d'autres formes d'oppression, en rendant hommage à ceux qui se battent pour la liberté et la justice. Les événements référencés, comme la Révolution américaine et la résistance contre Hitler, illustrent l'espoir et la détermination humaine dans le face à l'adversité.
