[00:04.000] |
I've traveled round this country |
[00:09.000] |
From shore to shining shore |
[00:14.000] |
It really made me wonder |
[00:19.000] |
The things I heard and saw. |
[00:23.000] |
I saw the weary farmer |
[00:29.000] |
Plowing sod and loam |
[00:33.000] |
l heard the auction hammer |
[00:38.000] |
A knocking down his home |
[00:42.000] |
But the banks are made of marble |
[00:47.000] |
With a guard at every door |
[00:51.000] |
And the vaults are stuffed with silver |
[00:56.000] |
That the farmer sweated for |
[01:05.000] |
l saw the seaman standing |
[01:10.000] |
Idly by the shore |
[01:15.000] |
l heard the bosses saying |
[01:119.000] |
Got no work for you no more |
[01:24.000] |
But the banks are made of marble |
[01:29.000] |
With a guard at every door |
[01:33.000] |
And the vaults are stuffed with silver |
[01:38.000] |
That the seaman sweated for |
[01:47.000] |
I saw the weary miner |
[01:51.000] |
Scrubbing coal dust from his back |
[01:56.000] |
I heard his children cryin |
[02:00.000] |
Got no coal to heat the shack |
[02:05.000] |
But the banks are made of marble |
[02:10.000] |
With a guard at every door |
[02:14.000] |
And the vaults are stuffed with silver |
[02:19.000] |
That the miner sweated for |
[02:32.000] |
I've seen my brothers working |
[02:36.000] |
Throughout this mighty land |
[02:40.000] |
l prayed we'd get together |
[02:45.000] |
And together make a stand |
[02:50.000] |
Then we'd own those banks of marble |
[02:54.000] |
With a guard at every door |
[02:58.000] |
And we'd share those vaults of silver |
[03:03.000] |
That we have sweated for |
