Tom Joad - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]

Tom Joad got out of the old McAlester Pen;[00:00:25]

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 poor boy [00:00:37]

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 "I just got loose from McAlester Pen[00:00:52]

On a charge called homicide [00:00:56]

A charge called homicide "[00:01:00]

That truck rolled away in a cloud of dust;[00:01:04]

Tommy turned his face toward home [00:01:08]

He met Preacher Casey and they had a little drink [00:01:12]

But they found that his family they was gone [00:01:16]

He found that his family they was gone [00:01:19]

He found his mother's old-fashion shoe [00:01:23]

Found his daddy's hat [00:01:28]

And he found little Muley and Muley said [00:01:31]

"They've been tractored out by the cats [00:01:35]

They've been tractored out by the cats "[00:01:39]

Tom Joad walked down to the neighbor's farm [00:01:44]

Found his family [00:01:48]

They took Preacher Casey and loaded in a car [00:01:51]

And his mother said "We've got to get away "[00:01:55]

His mother said "We've got to get away "[00:01:59]

Now the twelve of the Joads made a mighty heavy load;[00:02:04]

But Grandpa Joad did cry [00:02:08]

He picked up a handful of land in his hand [00:02:11]

Said: "I'm stayin' with the farm till I die [00:02:15]

Yes I'm stayin' with the farm till I die "[00:02:19]

They fed him short ribs and coffee and soothing syrup;[00:02:24]

And Grandpa Joad did die [00:02:28]

They buried Grandpa Joad by the side of the road [00:02:31]

Grandma on the California side [00:02:36]

They buried Grandma on the California side [00:02:39]

They stood on a mountain and they looked to the west [00:02:44]

And it looked like the promised land [00:02:48]

That bright green valley with a river running through [00:02:52]

There was work for every single hand they thought [00:02:55]

There was work for every single hand [00:02:59]

The Joads rolled away to the jungle camp [00:03:24]

There they cooked a stew [00:03:28]

And the hungry little kids of the jungle camp[00:03:32]

Said: "We'd like to have some too "[00:03:36]

Said: "We'd like to have some too "[00:03:39]

Now a deputy sheriff fired loose at a man [00:03:43]

Shot a woman in the back [00:03:47]

Before he could take his aim again [00:03:51]

Preacher Casey dropped him in his track poor boy [00:03:55]

Preacher Casey dropped him in his track [00:03:59]

They handcuffed Casey and they took him in jail;[00:04:03]

And then he got away [00:04:10]

And he met Tom Joad on the old river bridge [00:04:13]

And these few words he did say poor boy [00:04:17]

These few words he did say [00:04:21]

"I preached for the Lord a mighty long time [00:04:24]

Preached about the rich and the poor [00:04:29]

Us workin' folkses all get together [00:04:32]

'Cause we ain't got a chance anymore [00:04:36]

We ain't got a chance anymore "[00:04:40]

Now the deputies come and Tom and Casey run[00:04:44]

To the bridge where the water run down [00:04:47]

But the vigilante thugs hit Casey with a club [00:04:51]

They laid Preacher Casey on the ground poor Casey [00:04:55]

They laid Preacher Casey on the ground [00:04:59]

Tom Joad he grabbed that deputy's club [00:05:03]

Hit him over the head [00:05:07]

Tom Joad took flight in the dark rainy night [00:05:10]

And a deputy and a preacher lying dead two men [00:05:14]

A deputy and a preacher lying dead [00:05:18]

Tom run back where his mother was asleep;[00:05:23]

He woke her up out of bed [00:05:27]

An' he kissed goodbye to the mother that he loved [00:05:30]

Said what Preacher Casey said Tom Joad [00:05:34]

He said what Preacher Casey said [00:05:38]

"Ever'body might be just one big soul [00:05:42]

Well it looks that a-way to me [00:05:46]

Everywhere that you look in the day or night [00:05:50]

That's where I'm a-gonna be Ma [00:05:54]

That's where I'm a-gonna be [00:05:58]

Wherever little children are hungry and cry [00:06:01]

Wherever people ain't free [00:06:05]

Wherever men are fightin' for their rights [00:06:09]

That's where I'm a-gonna be Ma [00:06:12]

That's where I'm a-gonna be "[00:06:16]
