作曲 : Rice | |
I've traveled around this country | |
From shore to shining shore; | |
It really made me wonder, | |
The things I heard and saw. | |
I saw the weary farmer | |
Plowing his sod and loam; | |
I heard the auction hammer | |
Just a-knockin' down his home. | |
But the banks are made of marble, | |
With a guard at every door, | |
And the vaults are stuffed with silver | |
That the farmer sweated for. | |
I saw the weary miner | |
Scrubbin' coal dust from his back; | |
And I heard his children crying, | |
"We've got no coal to heat the shack." | |
But the banks are made of marble, | |
With a guard at every door, | |
And the vaults are stuffed with silver | |
That the miner sweated for. | |
I saw the seaman standing | |
Idly by the shore; | |
And I heard the owner sayin', | |
"Got no work fer you no more." | |
But the banks are made of marble, | |
With a guard at every door, | |
And the vaults are stuffed with silver | |
That the seaman sweated for. | |
I see my brothers working | |
Throughout this mighty land. | |
And I pray we'd get together, | |
And together make a stand. | |
Then we'd own those banks of marble, | |
With a guard at every door. | |
And we'd share those vaults of silver | |
That we have sweated for. |
