|
From the high Canadian Rockies to the land of Mexico, |
|
City and the country, wherever you may go, |
|
Through the wild and windy weather, the sun and sleet and rain, |
|
Comes a-whistlin' through the country this Farmer-Labor train. |
|
Listen to the jingle and the rumble and the roar, |
|
She's rollin' through New England to the West Pacific shore. |
|
It's a long time we've been waitin', now she's been whistlin' 'round the bend, |
|
Roll on into Congress on that Farmer-Labor train. |
|
There's lumberjacks and teamsters and sailors from the sea, |
|
There's farmin' boys from Texas and the hills of Tennessee, |
|
There's miners from Kentucky, there's fishermen from Maine; |
|
Every worker in the country rides that Farmer-Labor train. |
|
There's warehouse boys and truckers and guys that skin the cats, |
|
Men that run the steel mills, the furnace and the blast, |
|
Through the smoky factory cities, o'er the hot and dusty plains, |
|
And the cushions they are crowded, on this Farmer-Labor train. |
|
Listen to the jingle and the rumble and the roar, |
|
She's rollin' through New England to the West Pacific shore. |
|
It's a long time we've been waitin', now she's been whistlin' 'round the bend, |
|
Ride on on into Congress on that Farmer-Labor train. |
|
There's folks of every color and they're ridin' side by side |
|
Through the swamps of Louisiana and across the Great Divide, |
|
From the wheat fields and the orchards and the lowing cattle range, |
|
And they're rolling onto victory on this Farmer-Labor train. |
|
This train pulled into Washington a bright and happy day, |
|
When she steamed into the station you could hear the people say: |
|
"There's that Farmer-Labor Special, she's full of union men |
|
Headin' onto White House on the Farmer-Labor train." |
