have you heard about a country where the rivers run free,[00:00:05]
that's a place where i think you ought to go[00:00:10]
where the corn stands high, tall as the sky,[00:00:15]
on the great plains of old nebrasky–o.[00:00:20]
in school i read of men who died by the gun,[00:00:45]
but not of those who died by the hoe.[00:00:49]
the land has drunk the rains of many a farmer's blood[00:00:54]
now forgotten and buried long ago.[00:00:58]
where are the hands that plowed fields without sleep[00:01:04]
hands that saved a dying calf without rest[00:01:08]
where are the feet that walked down them hot dusty trails[00:01:13]
on their way to seek their fortunes going west.[00:01:17]
and where are the fathers who died in the dust[00:01:31]
and mothers who died hungry in the snow[00:01:35]
and where are the kids that watched the banks plow their houses down[00:01:39]
those are the things i guess my teaches never knowed.[00:01:42]
is there anybody left to walk a muddy mile[00:02:05]
is courage a word that's only said[00:02:11]
is it true them dusty days are days that never really were[00:02:15]
but are only tales in books to be read.[00:02:19]
you tell me drought hurt only corn and not men[00:02:25]
you smile and say hard times have gone away[00:02:31]
i guess i should listen to my city politician[00:02:35]
who keeps telling me these are better days.[00:02:39]
have you heard about a country where the rivers run free,[00:02:53]
that's a place where i think you ought to go[00:02:57]
where the corn stands high, tall as the sky,[00:03:01]
on the great plains of old nebrasky-o[00:03:06]
