What is this land of America so many travel there [00:00:44]
I'm going now while I'm still young my darling meet me there [00:00:47]
Wish me luck my lovely I'll send for you when I can [00:00:51]
And we'll make our home in the American land [00:00:54]
Over there all the woman wear silk and satin to their knees [00:01:02]
And children dear the sweets I hear are growing on the trees [00:01:05]
Gold comes rushing out the river straight into your hands [00:01:09]
If you make your home in the American land [00:01:12]
There's diamonds in the sidewalks there's gutters lined in song [00:01:19]
Dear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night long [00:01:23]
There's treasure for the taking for any hard working man [00:01:27]
Who will make his home in the American land [00:01:30]
I docked at Ellis Island in a city of light and spire [00:01:51]
I wandered to the valley of red hot steel and fire [00:01:55]
We made the steel that built [00:01:58]
The cities with the sweat of our two hands [00:02:00]
And I made my home in the American land [00:02:02]
There's diamonds in the sidewalk there's gutters lined in song [00:02:09]
Dear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night long [00:02:12]
There's treasure for the taking for any hard working man [00:02:16]
Who will make his home in the American land [00:02:20]
The McNicholas the Posalski's the Smiths Zerillis too [00:02:41]
The Blacks the Irish the Italians the Germans and the Jews [00:02:44]
The Puerto Ricans illegals the Asians Arabs miles from home [00:02:48]
Come across the water with a fire down below [00:02:52]
They died building the railroads worked to bones and skin [00:02:55]
They died in the fields and factories [00:02:59]
Names scattered in the wind [00:03:01]
They died to get here a hundred years ago they're dying now [00:03:02]
The hands that built the country we're all trying to keep down [00:03:06]
There's diamonds in the sidewalk there's gutters lined in song [00:03:10]
Dear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night long [00:03:13]
There's treasure for the taking for any hard working man [00:03:17]
Who will make his home in the American land [00:03:20]
Who will make his home in the American land [00:03:24]
Who will make his home in the American land [00:03:27]
