[00:18.429]Oh, I laid down your railroads, every mile of track
[00:23.189]With the muscles on my arm and the sweat upon my back
[00:27.113]And now the trains are rolling, they roll to every shore
[00:32.512]You tell me that my job is through, there ain't no work no more
[00:36.569]Though I laid down your highways all across the land
[00:41.759]With the ringing of the steel and the power of my hands
[00:47.003]And now the roads are there like ribbons in the sky
[00:51.349]You tell me that my job is through, but still I wonder why
[00:55.660]For the wages were low and the hours were long
[00:59.796]And the labor was all I could bear
[01:03.085]Now you've got new machines for to take my place
[01:06.947]And you tell me it's not mine to share
[01:10.356]Though I laid down your factories and laid down your fields
[01:15.324]With my feet on the ground and my back to your wheels
[01:19.900]And now the smoke is rising, the steel is all aglow
[01:24.211]I'm walking down a jobless road and where am I to go?
[01:28.558]For the wages were low and the hours were long
[01:33.120]And the labor was all I could bear
[01:36.308]Now you've got new machines for to take my place
[01:40.179]And you tell me it's not mine to share
[01:43.758]Though I laid down your factories and laid down your fields
[01:48.034]With my feet on the ground and my back to your wheels
