Woody Guthrie reworked his famous song "I Ain't Got No Home" to a protest song against his landlord at the
time, Fred Trump, the father of Donald Trum. Sadly he never recorded this version. (More on this here:

The song was recorded by "The Missin' Cousins":

I ain't got no home, I'm just a-roamin' 'round,

And the police make it hard wherever I may go
C C G C
And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.

C C F C
My brothers and my sisters are stranded on this road,
C C G G
A hot and dusty road that a million feet have trod;
C C F C
Rich man took my home and drove me from my door
C C G C
And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.

C C F C
Was a-farmin' on the shares, and always I was poor;

My crops I lay into the banker's store.

My wife took down and died upon the cabin floor,
C C G C
And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.

Beach Haven ain't my home. I just can't pay this rent.
C C G G
My money is down the drain, and my soul is badly bent.

Beach Haven is like heaven where no black ones come to roam.

No, no, no, old man Trump, Beach Haven ain't my home.

Now as I look around, it's mighty plain to see

This world is such a great and a funny place to be;

Oh, the gamblin' man is rich an' the workin' man is poor,
C C G C
And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.
