Plains of Nebrasky-O - Eric Andersen[00:00:00]
Written by:Eric Andersen[00:00:01]
Have you heard about a country where the rivers run free[00:00:09]
That's a place where I think you ought to go[00:00:14]
Where the corn stands high tall as the sky[00:00:18]
On the great plains of Old Nebrasky-O[00:00:23]
In school I read of men who died by the gun[00:00:34]
But not of those who died by the hoe[00:00:38]
The land has drunk the rains of many a farmer's blood[00:00:42]
Now forgotten and buried long ago[00:00:46]
Where are the hands that plowed fields without sleep[00:00:51]
Hands that saved a dying calf without rest[00:00:55]
Where are the feet that walked down them hot dusty trails[00:00:59]
On their way to seek their fortunes going west[00:01:03]
And where are the fathers who died in the dust[00:01:08]
And mothers who died hungry in the snow[00:01:12]
And where are the kids that watched the banks plow their houses down[00:01:16]
Those are the things I guess my teaches never knowed[00:01:20]
Have you heard about a country where the rivers run free[00:01:24]
That's a place where I think you ought to go[00:01:28]
Where the corn stands high tall as the sky[00:01:32]
On the great plains of Old Nebrasky-O[00:01:37]
You tell me drought hurt only corn and not men[00:01:47]
You smile and say hard times have gone away[00:01:51]
I guess I should listen to my city politician[00:01:56]
Who keeps telling me these are better days[00:02:00]
Is there anybody left to walk a muddy mile[00:02:04]
Is courage a word that's only said[00:02:08]
Is it true them dusty days are days that never really were[00:02:12]
But are only tales in books to be read[00:02:16]
Have you heard about a country where the rivers run free[00:02:20]
That's a place where I think you ought to go[00:02:24]
Where the corn stands high tall as the sky[00:02:29]
On the great plains of Old Nebrasky-O[00:02:34]
