Phil Ochs - Ballad Of William Worthy Lyrics

Font:

Align:

Well, its of a bold reporter whose story I will tell

He went down to the cuban land, the nearest place to hell

Hed been there many times before, but now the law does say

The only way to cuba is with the cia

William worthy isnt worthy to enter our door

Went down to cuba, hes 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 whyd he waste his time to see a dictators reign

When he could have seen democracy by travelin on to spain?

William worthy isnt worthy to enter our door

Went down to cuba, hes 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

Id surely like to come along and see what may be new

But my passports 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 isnt worthy to enter our door

Went down to cuba, hes 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
