Tom Joan Part 1 - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]
Tom Joad got out of the old McAlester Pen[00:00:24]
There he got his parole[00:00:29]
After four long years on a man killing charge[00:00:33]
Tom Joad come a walkin' down the road[00:00:37]
Poor boy[00:00:40]
Tom Joad come a walkin' down the road[00:00:41]
Tom Joad he met a truck driving man[00:00:45]
There he caught him a ride[00:00:49]
He said[00:00:53]
I just got loose from McAlester Pen[00:00:53]
On a charge called homicide[00:00:57]
A charge called homicide[00:01:01]
That truck rolled away in a cloud of dust[00:01:05]
Tommy turned his face toward home[00:01:09]
He met Preacher Casey and they[00:01:12]
Had a little drink[00:01:15]
But they found that his family they was gone[00:01:16]
He found that his family they was gone[00:01:20]
He found his mother's old fashion shoe[00:01:24]
Found his daddy's hat[00:01:29]
And he found little Muley and Muley said[00:01:32]
They've been tractored out by the cats[00:01:36]
They've been tractored out by the cats[00:01:40]
Tom Joad walked down to the neighbor's farm[00:01:45]
Found his family[00:01:49]
They took Preacher Casey and loaded in a car[00:01:53]
And his mother said[00:01:57]
We've got to get away[00:01:58]
His mother said[00:02:00]
We've got to get away[00:02:02]
Now the twelve of the Joads[00:02:06]
Made a mighty heavy load[00:02:07]
But Grandpa Joad did cry[00:02:09]
He picked up a handful of land in his hand[00:02:13]
Said I'm stayin' with the farm till I die[00:02:17]
Yes I'm stayin' with the farm till I die[00:02:21]
They fed him short ribs and coffee[00:02:26]
And soothing syrup[00:02:28]
And Grandpa Joad did die[00:02:30]
They buried Grandpa Joad by the side[00:02:34]
Of the road[00:02:37]
Grandma on the California side[00:02:38]
They buried Grandma on the California side[00:02:41]
They stood on a mountain and they[00:02:46]
Looked to the west[00:02:49]
And it looked like the promised land[00:02:50]
That bright green valley with a river[00:02:54]
Running through[00:02:57]
There was work for every single hand[00:02:58]
They thought[00:03:01]
There was work for every single hand[00:03:01]
