Song title: Phil Ochs - Ballad Of William Worthy

Edit By: 216.73.216.60

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
