Freedom Road - Josh White[00:00:00]
I've traveled round this country[00:00:05]
From shore to shining shore [00:00:10]
It really made me wonder[00:00:14]
The things I heard and saw [00:00:19]
I saw the weary farmer [00:00:24]
Plowing sod and loam;[00:00:28]
I heard the auction hammer[00:00:33]
Just knocking down his home [00:00:38]
But the banks are made of marble [00:00:42]
With a guard at every door [00:00:47]
And the vaults are stuffed with silver [00:00:51]
That the farmer sweated for [00:00:56]
I saw the seaman standing[00:01:06]
Idly by the shore [00:01:10]
And I heard the bosses saying [00:01:15]
Got no work for you no more [00:01:19]
But the banks are made of marble [00:01:24]
With a guard at every door [00:01:29]
And the vaults are stuffed with silver [00:01:33]
That the seaman sweated for [00:01:38]
I saw the weary miner [00:01:47]
Scrubbing coal dust from his back [00:01:51]
And I heard his children cryin' [00:01:56]
Got no coal to heat the shack [00:02:01]
But the banks are made of marble [00:02:05]
With a guard at every door [00:02:10]
And the vaults are stuffed with silver [00:02:14]
That the miner sweated for [00:02:19]
I've seen my brothers working[00:02:32]
Throughout this mighty land;[00:02:36]
I prayed we'd get together [00:02:41]
And together make a stand [00:02:45]
Then we mind own those banks of marble [00:02:50]
With a guard at every door;[00:02:54]
And we'd share those vaults of silver [00:02:59]
That we have sweated for[00:03:03]
