Artist/Band: Woody Guthrie
Lyrics for Song: Bling Blang
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Woody Guthrie



You get a hammer and I'll get a nail

And you catch a bird and I'll catch a snail

You bring a board and I'll bring a saw

And we'll build a house for the baby-o



CHORUS

Bling, Blang, hammer with my hammer

Zingo, Zango, cutting with my saw

Bling, Blang, hammer with my hammer

Zingo, Zango, cutting with my saw



I'll grab some mud and you grab some clay

So when it rains it won't wash away

We'll build a house that'll be so strong

The winds will sing my baby a song



CHORUS



Run bring rocks and I'll bring bricks

A nice pretty house we'll build and fix

We'll jump inside when the cold wind blows

And kiss our little baby-o



CHORUS



You bring a ladder and I'll get a box

Build our house of bricks and blocks

When the snowbird flies and the honeybee comes

We'll feed our baby on honey in the comb



CHORUS


Bling Blang

Bling Blang stands as a vibrant example of Woody Guthrie's playful approach to folk music. Known for his prolific songwriting and distinctive guitar style, Guthrie often infused his work with rhythmic energy and whimsical wordplay. This track captures the spirited essence of his performances, showcasing his ability to craft memorable melodies that resonate with listeners. While Guthrie is frequently celebrated for his socially conscious ballads, songs like Bling Blang highlight his lighter, more experimental side. The recording contributes to his extensive discography, reflecting the breadth of his creative output during his influential career. As part of his enduring legacy, the song remains a testament to his skill in blending traditional folk elements with unique, engaging compositions.
