Ballad of William Worthy
Well, it's of a bold reporter whose story I will tel
He went down to the Cuban land, the nearest place to hel
He'd been there many times before, but now the law does sa
The only way to Cuba is with the CI
William Worthy isn't worthy to enter our doo
Went down to Cuba, he's not American anymor
But somehow it is strange to hear the State Department sa
You are living in the free world, in the free world you must sta
Five thousand dollars or a five year sentence may well b
For a man who had the nerve to think that travelin' is fre
Oh why'd he waste his time to see a dictator's reig
When he could have seen democracy by travelin' on to Spain
William Worthy isn't worthy to enter our doo
Went down to Cuba, he's not American anymor
But somehow it is strange to hear the State Department sa
You are living in the free world, in the free world you must sta
So, come all you good travelers and fellow-travelers, to
Yes, and travel all around the world, see every country throug
I'd surely like to come along and see what may be ne
But my passport's disappearing as I sing these words to yo
Well, there really is no need to travel to these evil land
Yes, and though the list grows larger you must try to understan
Try hard not to be surprised if someday you should hea
The whole world is off limits, visit Disneyland this yea
William Worthy isn't worthy to enter our doo
Went down to Cuba, he's not American anymor
But somehow it is strange to hear the State Department sa
You are living in the free world, in the free world you must stay
