Tom Joad, Pt 2 - Woody Guthrie

作词：Woody Guthrie

作曲：Woody Guthrie

The Joads rolled away to Jungle Camp

There they cooked a stew

And the hungry little kids of the Jungle Camp

Said: We'd like to have some too

Said: We'd like to have some too

Now a Deputy Sheriff fired loose at a man

Shot a woman in the back

Before he could take his aim again

Preacher Casey dropped him in his track horborn

Preacher Casey dropped him in his track

They handcuffed Casey

And they took him to Jail

And then he got away

And he met Tom Joad on the old river bridge

And these few words he did say poor boy

These few words he did say

I preached for the Lord a mighty long time

Preached about the rich and the poor

Us working folks all got to get together

Cause we ain't got a chance anymore

We ain't got a chance anymore

Now the Deputies come

And Tom and Casey run

To the bridge

Where the water run down

But the vigilante they hit Casey with a club

They laid Preacher Casey on the ground

Poor Preacher Casey

They laid Preacher Casey on the ground

Tom Joad he grabbed that Deputy's club

Hit him over the head

Tom Joad took flight in the dark rainy night

And a Deputy and a Preacher

Lying dead two men

A Deputy and a Preacher lying dead

Tom run back where his mother was asleep

He woke her up out of bed

And he kissed goodbye

To the mother that he loved

Said what Preacher Casey said Tom Joad

He said what Preacher Casey said

Everybody might be just one big soul

Well it looks that a way to me

Everywhere that you look in the day or night

That's where I'm gonna be Ma

That's where I'm gonna be

Wherever little children are hungry and cry

Wherever people ain't free

Wherever men are fighting for their rights

That's where I'm gonna be Ma

That's where I'm a gonna be
