It's a mighty hard row that my poor hands have hoed |
|
My poor feet have traveled a hot dusty road |
|
Out of your dust Bowl and Westward we rolled |
|
Blue deserts so hot and your mountains so cold |
|
|
|
I've wandered all over your green growing land |
|
Where ever your crops are I've lent you my hands |
|
On the edge of your cities, you'll see me and then |
|
I come with the dust and I'm gone with the wind |
|
|
|
California, Arizona, I'd worked on your crops |
|
the North up to Washington to gather your hops |
|
I got beets from your ground |
|
I cut grapes from your vines |
|
To sat on our table's and light sparkling wine |
|
|
|
Green pastures of plenty from dry desert ground |
|
From the grand Coulee Dam where the water runs down |
|
Every state of this Union us migrants have been |
|
We come with the dust and we're gone, with the wind |
|
|
|
We come with the dust and we're gone, with the wind |
|
|
|
And we're gone.. with the wind... |
