作曲 : Rice
I've traveled around this country
From shore to shining shore;
It really made me wonder,
The things I heard and saw.
I saw the weary farmer
Plowing his sod and loam;
I heard the auction hammer
Just a-knockin' down his home.
But the banks are made of marble,
With a guard at every door,
And the vaults are stuffed with silver
That the farmer sweated for.
I saw the weary miner
Scrubbin' coal dust from his back;
And I heard his children crying,
"We've got no coal to heat the shack."
But the banks are made of marble,
With a guard at every door,
And the vaults are stuffed with silver
That the miner sweated for.
I saw the seaman standing
Idly by the shore;
And I heard the owner sayin',
"Got no work fer you no more."
But the banks are made of marble,
With a guard at every door,
And the vaults are stuffed with silver
That the seaman sweated for.
I see my brothers working
Throughout this mighty land.
And I pray we'd get together,
And together make a stand.
Then we'd own those banks of marble,
With a guard at every door.
And we'd share those vaults of silver
That we have sweated for.

I' ve traveled around this country
From shore to shining shore
It really made me wonder,
The things I heard and saw.
I saw the weary farmer
Plowing his sod and loam
I heard the auction hammer
Just aknockin' down his home.
But the banks are made of marble,
With a guard at every door,
And the vaults are stuffed with silver
That the farmer sweated for.
I saw the weary miner
Scrubbin' coal dust from his back
And I heard his children crying,
" We' ve got no coal to heat the shack."
But the banks are made of marble,
With a guard at every door,
And the vaults are stuffed with silver
That the miner sweated for.
I saw the seaman standing

And I heard the owner sayin',
" Got no work fer you no more."
But the banks are made of marble,
With a guard at every door,
And the vaults are stuffed with silver
That the seaman sweated for.
I see my brothers working
Throughout this mighty land.
And I pray we' d get together,
And together make a stand.
Then we' d own those banks of marble,
With a guard at every door.
And we' d share those vaults of silver
That we have sweated for.
