Remembrance 1. I’m Hezekiah from down the road And I’ve come to tell you cause you should know They plowed me under yesterday Now me and my family are going away Them rich boys up in Washington Never tended a field ‘til the break of dawn They’re gonna make more money without a crop So I’m going to join a union shop CH: White man, black man, mexical We all went north when the land went fallow It’s move to live and I don’t mind With my share cropping shadow close behind 2. I left Tennessee on 51 Heading to St. Lou in the setting sun With Father Coughlin on the radio Screaming a sermon ‘bout the CIO Now a thing’s a thing and a man’s a man And a farm without a farmer is just some land Dirt’s got value, not our lives So we’re pushin’on just to survive CH: Repeat 3. Many many years from now The books will tell of the fields unplowed And the families that were bought and sold Will have their stories go untold CH: Repeat |
